| 3 of us visited this pub on a cold 7th May 2012 Bank Holiday. Very cosy and log fire going. All staff very welcoming and we all enjoyed our meals. Being a Monday evening there was a quiz taking place, in aid of a charity, which added to the friendly atmosphere. this was being run very eloquently by the Landlord and, had we not had a long drive home, we would have stayed until closing time! Will definitely visit again. archery10 - 15 May 2012 17:29 |
| Walked into this pub at 1.45pm on Monday. No sign of anyone behind the bar. Waited. Walked out at 1.49pm still thirsty. skatalite - 28 Sep 2011 10:11 |
| Visited this pub on Friday evening for a meal, in the hope that the apparent hype around its refurbishment was justified. Alas, from what little I experienced, my verdict was that it probably isn't. Whilst it was clearly busy, and appeared to be a sympathetic modernisation of a fine old building with 4 cask ales and an accent on good food, I found it lacking in warmth, character or friendliness. The clientele were a mixed bunch but there was an air of cliquiness and vague pretence among them which I disliked. And the pleasant welcome from the bar staff was non-existent. There was little urgency and we just felt like we'd been placed on a conveyor belt. Having resolved to persevere and eat there despite the antipathy, nothing particularly grabbed us on the menu, which itself appeared a little over-egged and like they were trying too hard. So we gave in and moved on to the infinitely more relaxed and friendly Anchor Inn. Maybe I'm being harsh, but this pub somehow just missed the mark for me. Another time maybe, but I'll be in no rush.

| I visited this pub on Saturday eve, which is the first time I've been there since it was refurbished. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the pub has expanded (at least, I think it has expanded, it certainly looked bigger than before!!), it was very classy and cosy, with a very relaxed atmosphere (sofas, log fire etc) and I can imagine that it attracts people of all ages. I'm looking forward to returning and sampling the food in there! lynzUK - 2 May 2011 16:51 |
| bit wanky, but a quality venue! Proper parochial schmooze fest most of the time that you go there, but they do properly interesting events and evenings. staff always awesome, beer always great (but not as good as shepherd neame) eddjflower - 29 Apr 2011 01:40 |
