great location, everything else is poor, staff not trained, food bad, beer ok, the main porblem is actually getting served, a smile and a thank you goes a long way and guess what they're free!

needs a like of paint,

service service service! SORT it out!

Came in for a nice quiet drink in a village pub but was hit by very bad customer interface skills. The staff were very unfriendly and obtrusive in their mannerisms and I think customer training would be beneficial. Despite the service the location is good and the drinks and reasonably priced.

This pub is quite good, but not as good as it's twitter feed @ratfrimleygreen

The staff are friendly, the food is good and the pub is generally in a good condition. Shame about some if the regulars, but I suppose you can't have it all.

I'm a Real Ale drinker, and when I find a drink I like, I tend to stick with it for the evening (I get a nasty head in the morning if I mix my drinks). However, this hasn't been possible down the Rose and Thistle on a Friday evening for almost 6 months*!

Take the popular Doombar & Tribute brands for example. More often than not, you will find that the taps will have little delicate signs on them saying; "coming soon" or "coming next". Coming next after what? The next lunar eclipse? All it really serves to highlight is the pub's inability to manage their suppliers in conjunction with the gregorian calendar. How hard is it to keep a regular supply of the most popular ales in stock which therefore brings punters and their money into the pub? It's not like the suppliers are ice-cream-vans which randomly turn up in the carpark for 5 minutes before vanishing, it's 2011 and communication has never been so simple and easy. Forward planning is the key!

That said, on those rare occasions when Doombar and/or Tribute is available on a Friday night I guarantee you that 2 pints will be the most you'll get out of them before they're "off". Knowing what they're like, I've even asked Bill before starting a session "Am I going to get more than 2 pints out of this?" and have been told that they'll easily last well into the next day. When they inevitably run out when going up for number 3 I question Bill on his promise, and his reply was "Naaaaaaaa gone".

Either the people who manage the Ale are complete idiots, or it's a classic pub con in which they get you in on the nice drinks, then force you to drink the money making varieties once you're underway?

Don't get me wrong, the pub is superb. Food is great, nice location, beer garden, toilets, opening hours. But the Ale management is so bad it makes you question whether the person responsible often forgets to get dressed when they leave the house of a day.

*to be fair, there has been one Friday night in 6 months where both Doombar and Tribute made it through the whole night
