| Currently closed for repairs following a fire I believe. It’s covered in scaffolding, half the roof is off and there’s a notice on the door advising that the site is unsafe to enter. There doesn’t appear to be much structural damage so hopefully they can get it open again soon. Millay - 7 Oct 2009 09:37 |
| Is Scarecrow Festival the only time people come here ? The good point - there was a mini beer festival on... had a pint of Harveys that was nice even if it was in a plastic 'glass'. The bad - had some of the Paella that was supposedly cooking in a big pan outside... it was tepid and awful. Would expect better considering it was Scarecrow Festival and the turnover of food should be higher than normal. Doesn't bode well for anyone eating at less busy times.

| I was here during the Scarecrow Festival weekend so it was pretty busy and the staff were running around like headless chickens but it seems like a great place to drink during quieter moments.Archers IPA was on offer as well as a couple of Tring ales. captainblah - 28 Aug 2007 19:02 |
| The new owner seems like a bit of a tit. There are many many issues with trading standards which is a shame because the Spotted Dog has the ability to be a nice, warm and welcoming, atmospheric village pub. The beer is good but it tastes like the lines haven't been cleaned for a long time and guest beers aren't always what they say they are. The food can be good dependant on who is in the kitchen.. recommended if the punk guy is cooking. If you want a nice meal, i recommend the Blackbirds... The chef has built up a good reputation. We recommend you go to the Spotted if you love to have your ears filled with rubbish from the "Owner".. Don't believe anything he says. Other staff are nice though.. Peter's a lovely chap. We miss the busty barmaids also. anonymous - 20 Aug 2007 17:11 |
| Good food and good beer BUT the service is woefully slow. Somewhat concerned by being served food by someone with a very dirty uncovered bandaged hand!!! Mikey1 - 18 Aug 2007 10:25 |
