Six Pence Pub

Cute little pub in the heart of Blowing Rock. We came here on a Sunday afternoon in the peak of the fall tourist season. Everywhere was packed. I fully expected an hour wait or more. We were seated immediately. The service was good for how busy they were. The food was good too. It was typical British pub food, and it hit the spot. I would definitely come back.

Good visit. wanted to try the broccoli cheese bites, but they didn't have them. My husband got the fish and chips said it was good. I got the Ploughmans lunch it was very good. Great piece of cheddar and the French onion soup was good too. The side of coleslaw was a bit tart. Overall still pleased with our meal. Next time want to try the Shepherd's pie.

Had a nice time here. Service was friendly and prompt. One of their signature beers, Harp, was out of stock as was the broccoli and cheese appetizer which they blamed both on supply chain problems. Our two dinners came out after the table of four that sat next to us 20 minutes later and they claimed it was because of the pot roast that my daughter ordered which they said was the last of that too. Just seemed like they had a little trouble keeping up with their own food inventory. My shepherds pie was rather small and a little bland but it was till a nice night.

Food is really good, so is the service. For our latest visit, there was a wait time for us to get a table which was worth the wait. The place is very lively and noisy but I love that. A very positive energy to the place. I also loved our widow side seating and the view. We visit the place whenever we come to Boone/ Blowing rock. My favorite dish there is the fish and chips.

I will alway stop at an Irish Pub and restaurant, hard to find British faire. Stopped by with the family after some hiking and was impressed. Front door was open to bring in cool air, the smell from the kitchen was in the air and beer/wine glasses were heard. Very good food, staff were friendly as can be, and very tolerant of our kids who were beyond hungry.
