Frommer's Review

Mr. Pickwick's is a pub and restaurant that's part of Ye Old English Inne. It could justly be accused of being a theme-park restaurant, with the theme being "ye olde Englande" -- but it's slowly changing. Run since 1983 with creative gusto by British ex-pats Chris and Lyn Francis, it's hard not to enjoy yourself here; begin by admiring the Anglo decor while relaxing at handsome wood tables in the booths (dubbed "pews"). Sample from among some 150 beers (many of them British) before ordering longtime lunch specialties such as a ploughman's lunch or fish and chips. Dinner still offers the fish and chips, but has become something more upscale than it used to be: Korean-spiced hanger steak, roasted duck breast with figs, veal loin chops, and the like now make appearances.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
