| If you can find this pub, don't be put off by the outside appearance - the building side is a little tatty. Inside it's a different story, it's a great traditional pub. No pretences here, no Pubco standard decor, just great beers and excellent food, a little pricey perhaps, but well worth the money. The staff (and locals) were friendIy too. I will be making the 40 miles round trip again to sample the other ales. triumph - 15 May 2009 23:18 |
| To find this "real" old fashioned country pub you will need sharp eyes and a good map. Set in a real country village the initial appearances are deceptive. Walk into the brick and woodbeam bar but don't trip on the ancient uneven wooden floor. Posh tablecloths and bright lights there are not, scrubbed antique tables are the order of the day. Good food, beers and wines and a warm welcome are waiting. The menu is varied, and a specials board is up for main courses and puds. Prices are at the upper end of pub meal range but worth every penny. Check out the web site for sample menus which are as good as thay sound. We went for lunch and rounded off the afternoon with a stroll round the village and footpaths. Downsrider - 7 May 2009 21:02 |
| What a delightful interesting pub, don't know about the food, but charming and peaceful, and a good pint of Flowerpots bitter, which was doubly good news because I thought that microbrewer had gone tits up. nelly0164 - 10 Apr 2009 13:24 |
We've been going to this pub for the last 6 years, even though it's 15 miles away - because it was such a good find and the food was great quality and good value. It was the place we'd take friends if they were visiting, and was the osrt of place where the chef would take the sunday joint of beef off the menu if he wasn't satisfied with its quality. However, last time we went we were disappointed - the food menu had become run of the mill and boring (scampi, sausage and mash, steak etc) and increased significantly in price. In the end, we decided not to eat there and went to another pub nearby. There was hardly a meal for less than £10 - a 15-20% increase on previous prices. I don't know whether this is because it has changed hands recently and the new owners have reverted to the 'traditional food at restaurant prices' philosophy that so many pubs have now - but it was certainly a step down from the many previous occasions we'd eaten there. The location, decor, garden and beer are still lovely - it's a stand-out pub in those respects, but I rerally hope the landlord looks agin at the food offer to tempt us back on a regular basis! alexr2010 - 10 Aug 2008 12:06 |
| This is just one of those pubs you feel lucky to have found, its off the beaten track in a wonderful old candlelit georgian (?)building with fantastic ales on tap and a restaurant out the back that just keeps things nice and simple and all very reasonable. Barney1 - 1 Jun 2008 23:07 |
