| This pub has been under new management this year - too early to say if thats good or bad. Definately an improvement on all but the last landlady. Beer quality is variable, usually a good range but not always well kept. I went in here on Tuesday and had a very disappointing pint of Black Sheep that was probably left over from the weekend - so bad I left half of it. On other occasions its been good trouble is it should be good all the time. Service can also be quite slow, they sometimes seem reluctant to get enough staff behind the bar. Staff are not knowledgable about beer. Triathlete - 19 May 2011 13:51 |
| Cask Marque ain't worth the paper it's printed on and should really be rebranded as Cack Mark. Well over half the pubs I have visited with Cask Marque "accreditation" would have difficulty pouring you a glass of orange juice without spoiling it let alone have any idea about dealing with ale.

| Tried this pub for the first time last Saturday afternoon. A pub serving food all day can be really useful to know. I liked the interior with three or four different areas to eat or drink. I am not over keen on 'chain' pubs because although you normally get a good choice of meals at reasonable prices you seldom get that home-cooked look and taste. Three of us had macaroni cheese - which received no complaints. I had the chicken and ribs but with the salad undressed - I complained. The ribs were nice, the chips were nothing special, the chicken was a dry fibrous hard slab and my undressed salad was.........dressed. Why do places dress the salad? It is vile. Forget the food, what about the drink? Six real ales were on which at least is a plus. Some could be regular beers - Deuchars, Moorland OB and Courage best - not my favourite ones. I had the Greene King Thirsty Dragon and Jennings Tom Fool both disappointingly bland. I wouldn't be surprised if the Thirsty Dragon was Greene King's IPA in disguise!!! As this place has been Cask Marque accredited I asked the young barman if he had a Cask Marque leaflet of other CM pubs in the local area. "Cask who?" was his reply. Cask Marque, I repeated. "Wot's dat den?" he asked. Where is the landlord or landlady when you want them? Why are thick kids put in charge? Cask Marque is an organisation which offers the opportunity to train you lot how to look after and pull a decent pint of beer: I informed him. The blank look on his face was like the one Homer Simpson has when he has not understood a single word that's said. This is not an isolated case, it has happened in many other Cask Marque pubs. fugglehops - 14 Jun 2010 22:20 |
