| I've only been in 2 or 3 times, but my impressions have been almost entirely positive. I've always found the barstaff - landlord or otherwise- pleasant and welcoming, and they've had some interesting beers, always in good nick - for example, beers from Dark Star, and a house beer brewed I think by Marstons (can that be right? Good, anyway). The pub's done out in a fairly basic, bare boards style, which I like but which may not appeal to everyone - but above all, this is still a real pub, and that's becoming an increasingly rare commodity these days. Worth finding. earlydrinker - 2 Oct 2011 19:08 |
| I too have mixed feelings after my first visit. Good mix of locals/visitors and choice of 3 Dark Star beers plus guests. Tried a Black Cat beer and it was lifeless in the glass. Other pints of the same beer were poured, all the same so I assume was the beer not the cellar. Had a Red Squirrel Redwood which was good but £4.00 a pint is a silly price for a 5.4% beer. As I say left with mixed feelings but the pricing policy may well deter me from another visit. foamy - 22 Sep 2011 19:47 |
| Cracking pub, great beer, great locals and really friendly hosts. From the outside it doesn't look but don't let that put you off. anotherpintplease - 7 Aug 2011 22:46 |
| I'm not quite sure what to make of this place. From the outside, it looked none too inspiring. Inside, it was fairly busy but lacked character. Although work is still clearly being done on certain parts. We sat by the fireplace, which was disused and filled in with candles. The big pile of firewood next to it seemed odd considering the fire was not used. Nevertheless, the beer selection is good. Darkstar Best Bitter, Green Hopped IPA & Thornstar (a collaboration with Thornbridge) were all on alongside Moles Tap and Westerham God's Wallop. Westons Stowford Press was the cider. We also tried the food and I quite enjoyed the North Indian sweet & sour curry. Watching the barmaid pour 4 mesaures of gin with soda was quite amusing. Although I don't think the landlord seemed too amused when all 4 had to be replaced by new gins with the required tonic water. All in all, a good place for beer and food, but not one I'd particularly like to linger in. blue_scrumpy - 21 Jan 2011 21:46 |
| Popped in here for a swift one while in the area on a snowy bank holiday Monday. Got a very warm welcome from the bar staff and a choice of five ales, plus I was encouraged to have a taster to help decide. While the decor may be basic for some tastes, there was a warming fire at one end of the bar and while I didn't try the food, the menu certainly looked varied and interesting as well as reasonably priced. Definitely one to make a note of for a repeat visit when I'm in the area, and if you want a good pint or two and a warm welcome, I'd recommend it. fazerblue - 28 Dec 2010 10:24 |
