| I went to this pub approx 10 months after I last went, Yes the young landlord is still there, but he looks more comfortable than before. The pub has changed in a few ways, sanded floors which makes it more welcoming with a lovely open fire. The best was a pure delight, I tried the Venison and Old Ale pie and the flavours was just delightful, will definately be back. Makemineadoubleplease - 25 Jan 2012 12:55 |
| Just had lovely evening in the Brecknock - top Venison and Ale pie and few beers. Well worth a visit to a really traditional village boozer. Amen. mattb123 - 25 Nov 2011 21:53 |
| I read the top two comments about this pub and thought I would take a visit for myself. I walked in and first of all the gentleman behind the bar noticed me straight away and said good evening. The pub had Porter, Old, Mild and Best on for the Real Ales. I asked if I could try the Porter he said of course without moaning. I then ordered a Homemade Steak and Ale Pie and it tasted like it was homemade. The atmosphere in the pub was very nice. I will be going back, I then found out that the young lad behind the bar was actually the landlord and his pints are very nice. Makemineadoubleplease - 21 Mar 2011 13:41 |
| Not so good, what has happenend? tonbridge - 14 Feb 2011 22:24 |
| Under new management for the past three weeks, and the new landlord is just 20 years old. He says the previous incumbent ran the place down, and he and his young partner are hoping to rebuild the business. On the plus side, the Harveys was well-kept and pleasant (the choice is Harveys or Harveys; although Harveys is not usually my favourite pint I liked the WWII style bitter. The food was OK. The bill for four for lunch was 55 quid including drinks. A nice log fire was burning. On the downside, there was a horrid smell of burnt oil from the deepfat fryer. Piped music playing. Food took 30 mins to come. In fairness, we were warned that it would be cooked to order, but despite that it was only OK: pies in bowls without proper pastry, chips a bit floppy. The young landlord - not surprisingly, given his youth - has not yet developed an easy manner. We were pretty much the only people in there at lunchtime. A lick of paint wouldn't hurt: it all looks a bit rundown. All in all, not enough to make me want to rush back. I do hope they can make a go of this, but they will need imagination and flair as well as youth and energy. LDW - 2 Feb 2011 15:35 |
