Got invited to this pub on saturday nite 4th oct 08 and had an absolutely crackin' time. I understand its been recently taken over and owner and staff are nice people. They had a karaoke on and almost everyone sang and those that didn't were singing from their seats and anyone else seemed to be dancing even the landlady sang!, saw so many people i hadn't seen since school days, don't know when karaoke is on next but the venue was brill, will definately go back

I've read a lot of dodgy reviews, but the drinkers I've spoken to in the village hold this place in pretty high esteem. No bitter going, but they had bottles of Spitfire for the occasional visitor - which went down very nicely.
Sorry to report that nobody offered me any drugs, and nobody offered me outside. In fact, the most animated conversation was between four blokes discussing when the laws changed to stop savers from cashing in a personal pension. Judge for yourself - it's not that bad!

I have been advised not to go in there by a local as you should know half the pub first. Apparantly most seats are allocated to the locals. Do they buy enough bee to pay for the profits?

I have been going in here on and off, for years and years and can say that the pub went right down hill after Pauline (RIP) Left. But Wayne is getting together again, bit by bit. Friendly Staff and always someone to talk to. Morrissey should not be put off by his perceptions, I also wear a shirt & tie to work, and never had any problems in here. the locals don't care what you wear, they'll drink with anyone ;-)
P.S.
I'll have a pint of whatever 'Anonymous' of 23rd Aug 2006 was drinking, as there is certainly no pool table in there!! (there would be enough room anyway)

This truly is the pits.
Typical drinkers include builders who it wouldnt surprise me to find were both working on the pub and drinking in it at the same time. Various threatening types peruse the beer garden out front staring at anyone unfamilair who is dressed in a suit. Drank here once so maybe I am being unfair.
Ironically I would avoid it if I were a 'jockey' (knob jockey), I don't think you'd be welcomed with open arms.

The Miller Revolution has begun...
Those of you know the Jockey of old may have shyed away in the past due to various 'take over' bids. All of which have failed at the first or very best, second fence.
Now the MR has begun, expect some big changes and the Jockey to be a place to go... for both a quiet beer and a lively weekend.
If you fancy something other than an early beer on a Sunday, check out the fixture list and come watch the Jockey Reingers play a match. Loads of support followed by mass drinking in the avo onwards.
This IS where it's going to be for the summer of 2006 onwards

Went to this pub for the first time a few weeks back. Small like everyone says but that makes it a far more friendly and comfortable atmosphere.
Great people, great music and great lamb chops!!!!!

This pub is so small you could'nt swing a cat in it, but who wants to swing a cat!! What this pub lacks because of its size is compensated with great staff and a friendly atmosphere. The pub or area could'nt wish for better owners. Wayne the barman is exceptional (he can actually serve 5 people at once and do bar tricks at the same time!) If you want good service and a good laugh with your pint this is the pub to visit.

A decent Pub with new owners. Very small but a very friendly pub with some real character about it. Usual selection of beers and lagers but the main thing about this pub is the atmosphere. I've never had a bad night in there since the new owners have taken it on.
