Hidden jewel out in the open
DESCRIPTION: Just stopped in yesterday to check it out, due to the unusual name. The atmosphere was a rare surprise in an area surrounded by fast foods. Food portions are reasonable for the price, and all look well prepared. Suggest you ask (unposted) bar prices before ordering to avoid shock.

MMMMMM
DESCRIPTION: Pub with a lot of possibility. Prices are a bit dear for the fare one recieves. Lack of entertainment, bar space, and televisions, leave one staring at the back wall whilst drinking a pint. One also wonders who the owner is this week.

My favourite!
DESCRIPTION: I was a patron of the H&J for years until I moved to California. I always took friends and family from in or out of town there, too. My friends from Scotland were thoroughly impressed and we ended up going twice in their 2 week stay. The atmosphere is lovely (decorated my library at home in H&J style), and the people are just wonderful. I will be opening my own restaurant soon and the pub will be modeled after the H&J.

TV in pubs
DESCRIPTION: Pubs are meant for people to socialize, no TV's please. The Horse & Jockey is about as close as you are going to get to a British pub. The Beer and food is very good, the atmosphere is great. No loud music with people whooping and screaming for seamingly no reason. The servers are very nice, and refrain from calling you Hun, and Sweetie all the time. I would recommend it to anyone.

Real English Tea Service
DESCRIPTION: The decor in the tiny tea room is decidedly Victorian English with lace and calico tableclothes, porcelain tea cups and tea pots. More cozy than elegant or fancy, the restaurant is like your grandmother's living room. The menu is very English and good too with cucumber and tomato sandwiches, lovely scones, and puddings. There is also a children's menu with peanut butter sandwiches for children who will not eat English fare. Special dinners are wonderful. If you have a young daughter, you must experience the high afternoon tea with her!
