Queens arms

At the end of Field Road on the corner of greyhound road sits the Queens Arms. For many years it was the haunt of the local estates, and a very large german shepard that blocked entry. Recently it's been completely renovated in the style of so many gastro pubs in the area. In some ways I miss the stability of the old 50's pub, and the nostalgic "east enders" feeling you got walking through the door. However, on the whole the renovation has changed everything...including the clientel and with the addition of food it makes a resonable venue to spend a Sunday afternoon.
My wife and I went this past Sunday to give it a try.. She had the risotto (which was a little buttery) and I had the sticky pork (which was a little confused - see above). On the whole, the food wasn't bad...I just think that they need to keep the creations much simpler and not try to be too fancy. Also for a neighbourhood pub, it's expensive. Perhaps it's just a few growing pains, and with feedback they'll hopefully sort things out. I'm willing to give them a few more tries, and support the local.
update: I've removed the pricing information based on Jon's comment below. I'll go back, have another meal and report back.
