I visited today after a hike across the Clent Hills and having found the Hill Tavern closed - as per norm it would seen - I have to say I felt like I was entering a restaurant, definitely NOT a pub. The staff were not unfriendly but I certainly felt out of place and was ushered to a little table near the bar complete with place mats, polished glasses containing neatly folded napkins and gleaming cutlery. Well at least I ordered a packet of nuts!
On the plus side, the beer I ordered was an excellent, fruity number from New Zealand of all places, the name of which escapes me now.
Very nice, olde worlde place, if a little on the small side but definitely NOT a drinking establishment.

rude manager who letches over his young bar staff, not a pub at all. avoid it at all costs

Well, I visited last week and this isn't a pub any longer despite the name.
Just a restaurant. If you aren't eating (and have made a booking) they don't want your business. The staff made that quite plain.
Should be taken out of the listings really

I notice that there are no recent reviews or awards - has it gone downhill?

Nice cosy restaurant. Lovely food and good service. Love the vegetables, beautifully presented in a bamboo steamer basket.
Great for a special occasion.
