| Disappointing. Whilst the cask marque is proudly displayed only Black Sheep available. Didn't try the lunch menu after a very average pint. Extensive restaurant, virtually empty with no atmosphere. The whole place seemed a bit run down. catador - 7 Aug 2008 18:41 |
| A bit of history: This used to be a genuine oldfashioned village local, selling a nice pint of 'real' Bass. Later (25 years ago) a Tetley Wayfarer pub with lots of things for the children to play on (our favourite venue when the kids were young, as it had a bouncy castle)and good beer as well - that's in the happy days when Tetleys was a decent drop! Food was gradually introduced and it became more and more a dining pub. Then, in the mid-1990s, the children's play area was done away with in favour of an accommodation extension - but the food and beer (a wider range) were still good and reasonably priced. Then it changed hands and went up-market price-wise, but the food simultaneously nose-dived and became poor (following departure of Audrey, the excellent cook - who's gone on to higher things). The place clearly flopped and has changed hands again a couple of times, I think, in recent years. Luckily, at the moment, it seems OK - reasonably priced food (they've brought the Club Menu back), but the handpulled beers (decent small range) a little pricey (not an uncommon problem). So, if you are in the area it's worth a try - especially if you are hungry, as the food really is quite nice!! wppclarke - 30 Jul 2008 01:02 |
