THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Dickens Inn Restaurant Review:


This is not exactly a world of gammon and spinach that Charles Dickens once imagined, but you can’t mistake their culinary thrust. There’s a lively dart game in the pub, and the half-timbered walls, Delft-tiled stove, and prints from Dickens’ books that line the walls, are very olde English. Once serving food that only Brits would recognize, the Inn has added things like buffalo wings, bruschettas, and Caesar salad. Ivy leaguers, and the tweedy set keep coming, mainly for the pub food which includes fish and chips, steak and mushroom pie, and fragrant Cornish pasties. Skip the dreary, old-fashioned stuff like beef Wellington, and go for the atmosphere, or a good burger as well. With pints of beer, and New York style cheesecake for dessert, you can go out so stuffed, you might feel as if you’re dragging Marley’s chains.
