| Bit of a shambles of a pub, I guess you call it character. That said, it's very likeable and relaxed, and the real ales are always interesting and kept in very good nick. Abteilung - 11 Jul 2008 23:44 |

| To combine two of the comments below, the front bar has been recently re-painted and I think the back bar is to follow soon. With regards to the "junk" comment,I know what you mean as one end of the front bar is strewn with "stuff" which, if cleared, could provide a larger serving area or, at the very least, a good glass collection point. Minor details, though, which should not detract from the fine experience that is The Retreat. Gristy - 7 Apr 2008 14:54 |
| A cracking little pub that would be greatly improved if the licencees would not use it as a store for their junk. CarolineNo - 7 Apr 2008 14:29 |
| Went there last Sunday and LOVED EVERY MINUTE! Tried all the selections and they were all top notch, but the best was Chalk Stream by the Ramsbury Brewery. dotball - 6 Apr 2008 16:15 |
