| Returned without my children, and enjoyed the beer (Pedi and Bass) as much as ever, although the pub was packed on a Thursday night despite any obvious attractions apart from the beer ! I loojk forward to taking my boys here when they reach 18. mtaylor40 - 21 Nov 2011 22:40 |
| I dropped in today for a quick beer, and found it a really lovely pub. I had a delicious local brew, and the welcome was friendly. I liked some of the sayings on the wooden beams ("My wife thinks I'm ugly when I'm drunk, but she looks pretty horrible to me when I'm sober"). I would certainly go back there again if I were in the area. This is a good old fashioned pub with stone floors, good beer and a marvellous atmosphere. BruceMasters - 10 Sep 2011 20:42 |
| What a lovely pub, beer good, love the rustic feel, open fire, it's just a shame it's run by the most rude, ignorant and intolerable people I have ever met. You are made to feel extremely uncomfortable, they give the impression, that you are an utter inconvenience to them. I have experienced being spoken too with distaste and also become witness to it happening to other customers. The pub proclaims to welcome dog walkers, which I can confirm they do not, when I asked for a drink of water for my dogs, they flatly refused. I also dared moved a chair from our table and placed at another table so my dogs could go underneath, so as not to be in the way, the pub landlord replaced the chair at our table forcing the dogs out, and told us the dogs can't ' play' under there! I know sounds ridiculous, but true. As a result we definitely won't be going back!! good luck to all that drink at the Dead Poets! mooeythemoo - 20 Aug 2011 13:17 |
| I agree with Sarahlou84. The land lord & land lady spoil what would be a nice pub. Never have I had the misfortune to stumble upon such two unsuitable individuals as these to run a pub. Miserable, rude, aloof, stuck up, hates children, dogs; you name it they seem to hate it. Not only have they been rude to us on two occasions, we have seen it with several other couples. Why are they in this business? I will only return when the current land lord & land lady have gone. Here's a tip for the Land Lord, take all your different prohibitive signs down & just put one up that says,"Don't". Roll on retirement! dcpolyex - 20 Aug 2011 07:40 |
| In response to sarahlou84 ... Nobody gets asked to leave without good reason. I happen to be the manager, and the group in question were being rude towards the landlady after being asked to quiet down as they were becoming more and more noisy. They were also messing about with ornaments on the shelves and continued to do so even after being asked not to. If rude, noisy and unruly behaviour is what they consider to be "enjoying themselves" then I would prefer them to drink elsewhere .. As for the "clicky" bit, we are anything but! Everybody is welcome as long they respect us, our customers and our pub. Jason Jasonh01 - 1 Jun 2011 13:59 |
