The Discovery has undergone renovations and new management, resulting in a change of atmosphere and clientele. Issues with food orders and service have been reported, along with mixed reviews on food quality. However, positive feedback has been given for the lunch menu, attentive service, and excellent burgers. The refurbished pub now offers a more open and welcoming environment, with comfortable seating and friendly staff. Overall, there are both pros and cons to dining at The Discovery, with potential for improvement under the new management in terms of consistency and overall experience.
