We wanted an informal setting (with privacy) for a group dinner. This fitted the bill perfectly although the room appears intended for meetings rather than dining and staff seemed surprised that we were there for dinner. Thereafter service was fast and excellent with staff friendly and confident. Food was fine: as expected from a Fullers pub with very consistent quality.
No complaints really.
