| New Years Day 2010 after a sunny morning stroll, we gathered around a small table in the rustic Saloon bar, and sampled some excellent Adnams ales and feshly cut sandwiches. A friendly warm gem of a pub with not a red faced hooray Henry in sight. At least, not until I think I caught a glimpse of one in the mirror in the Gents after a couple of pints <grin>. mim - 3 Jan 2010 16:46 |
| Named as one of the top 25 pubs by the Sunday Telegraph yesterday. hogshead - 7 Sep 2009 21:08 |
| Though not a local, I've known this pub since 1971 and it remains a place I go to whenever I'm in the area (maybe 4-5 times a year). It does the simple things extremely well - the beer is exemplary and they have sensibly maintained a limited (soup and sandwiches) menu which enables them to keep high standards. Other reviewers' comments about the "red-bracered Hooray Henrys" are not entirely misplaced, but the bulk of the clienetele and the welcoming Short family themselves (owners) mean that you'd have to be very unlucky or sensitive to have this spoil what should be a truly relaxing visit Arctium_lappa - 17 Aug 2009 18:48 |
| Absolutely superb pub, probably one of my all-time favourites. Set in a pretty village, lovely building, excellent beer, very tasty simple food and friendly, attentive bar staff. Exactly how a pub should be. As for the comments about 'hooray Henrys' - I've been to this pub many times (luckily, it's only 4 miles down the road) and I've never experienced these type of people. Even so, I'd rather have to 'put up' with them than drunken oiks and aggressive people. Olsta - 13 Jun 2009 11:17 |
| This is what a village pub should be like. Cosy and friendly. The first thing that you notice when you enter is that its lit by candles rather than bright lights, The saloon bar has an open fire that makes the old wooden beams and furnishings made from chunks of tree's feel really homely. They have ale served from the cask and if you like Adnams beers then you are in for a treat. Broadside, Explorer and Bitter. All in all a very enjoyable quiet midweek evening visit.
