| Visited this pub in October 2011 at 6.15pm on a Saturday. What a disapointment there was only one real ale on because nobody had bothered to change the barrel on the other two until we asked!! The pub was cold and I mean cold, we sat there with our coats on feeling very uncomfortable. The Tribute beer was ok but at £3.60 a pint for a very run down and cold establishment I think was very expensive, when better pubs sell it for 15% less. I think you can guess that I was not impressed, no wonder it is up for sale!!! alex_1234 - 5 Nov 2011 14:58 |
| Found this remarkable pub by accident. Tucked away in a charming village it is one of the best finds I have come across in many a year. Friendly staff, good selection of ales in great condition, great vibrancy in the bar and fantastic food, all locally sourced. I will be taking B & B in Sutton Poyntz for a weekend just to go back, do some walking in the splendid countryside and to chill out. It narrowly missed 10 out of 10 because I find £3.40 for a pint a bit on the steep side. THATOLDMAN - 6 Oct 2011 18:00 |
| You could hardly find a pub in a more picturesque setting. Despite this our visit was less than memorable. tommo5 - 10 Aug 2011 16:22 |
| i went with a group of family this weekend (6 adults, 2 children 1 baby). absolutely rubbish. we went to there attracted by the signs at the end of the road, stating live music, great home cooked food, large childrens play park, etc etc. wrong! the 'play park' is 1 tyre swing, a slide and some old rusty monkey bars. the staff were very un helpful, not interested that a steak we ordered 'blue/rare' had no redness at all. the food was all average to cr@P and not cheap. it took ages for the food to come out, and then our tables meals came out spread over 25 mins, the 1st to get their meals had finished by the time the last one got theirs. the lasagne was swimming in grease, the childrens sausage and mash came with no veg, and it was definately a toddlers portion so if you have a child over 3 they'd be left hungry (4 cocktail sauages!!!) do not recommend at all!! ccv - 11 Apr 2011 21:14 |
| Visited this pub out of season. Only about 6 people in a pub designed to take dozens of people. Beautiful setting, but absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever, no welcome and tired, faded decor. (However if you're a film crew looking for a run-down looking 1970's setting - this is the place). Average beer. m12 - 14 Jun 2010 20:05 |
