| Well I still use the place - the gents is better than it used to be and I just love reminding Mark (the Aussie assistant manager) as to who currently holds the Ashes!!!! A nice place to go and have an afternoon drink in - 8/10 ConfirmedSmoker - 29 Mar 2012 19:47 |
| Yes this place does have it's faults - the gents' loo is not 100% but is better than it was. The prices of real ale and wine are however very competitive if one wants a proper pub as opposed to a 'ding-ding chicken' operation such as Yates or Weatherspoons. Having said all of this - Amie is a lovely lady (how I wish I'd met her years ago!!) and the locals are equally very friendly. Equally they show rugger rather than soccer! I give this place 8/10 - the gents could do with a bit of a clean Amie but aside from that I'm more than happy! ConfirmedSmoker - 15 Mar 2011 20:11 |
| I have been a regular with many friends of the "hob" for years but it pains me to say this but it's now a place I avoid now for many reasons. Firstly the pricing of a pint of lager has rocketed in the last few years and does in fact go up in price very regularly, the standard in taste of the pint is awful for what your paying. The rude bar staff who only seem to be interested in serving their mates first rather then the person who has been stood there before them waiting to be served. Do I dare even mention the poor state of the gents toilets wiltshire - 12 Sep 2010 13:45 |
| Well wandered in early on a Monday evening and ordered a pint of Hobgoblin. As often was asked for payment before pint appeared over the bar, £2.70. The pint that appeared was probably the worst looking pint I have been offered in many a year. The barmaid seemed truely oblivious to the crap she had just poured and had to seek approval from another member of staff to refund my money. Well that was a pub to give a wide berth to in future. The other member of staff was unclear whether it was a first or last pint than had been poured but did turn the clip around. All in all clueless and unconcerned staff when it comes to a decent pint of real ale. Wychwood please note. Bronzewhaler - 24 Aug 2009 20:01 |
