| What a truly fine pub this is. Seven beers on, a wide range, reasonably priced, and those I tried were in fine condition. The staff were pleasant and the customers friendly. If every pub was like this the world would be a much better place, djw - 29 Feb 2012 00:01 |
| Nice 'locals' pub, very busy on the Saturday evening we visited and it was standing room only which wasn't very comfortable given that the pub is quite small. There was a rear room given over to dining and this was empty at the time we were there, always annoying when you've travelled especially. The beer however was excellent, we had Kelham Island 'Pale Rider', Enville's 'Enville Ale', Salopian 'Up for the Cup' and a Craddocks. There's also Bathams on. We thought the quality was excellent, but all were on the sweeter side and more of a balanced range would have been nice. Oddly, the beer pump area is very poorly lit. Really liked the Robin Hood, but with beer this good, it would be lovely to see the dining area at least partially opened to the many eager drinkers. Roy22 - 28 Nov 2011 18:56 |
| In the vicinity following mooring up our narrowboat nearby, we were ion the market not only for good ale pubs, but also one that could serve decent grub. After a bit of a trying schlep up the hill, we finally happened upon the Robin Hood, which immediately exuded a feeling of liveliness and good cheer. It is an attractive, double-fronted exterior and the front rooms have the cosy feel of your own living room, without being bland. Note the impressive and continuous row of bottled beers around the top of the walls. Both punters and staff appeared friendly, and we keenly engrossed ourselves in the range of 5 interesting ales, which covered a considerable range of styles and strengths. Forgive me for not remembering them now, but this was one of 25 or so we visited in a week! I can say that they were found in excellent nick though. Food-wise, there was a similarly broad range of hearty dishes. Some of these, such as the chicken stuffed with black pudding covered with a stilton sauce, err on the rich side and it won't suit everyone's palate, but despite some initial doubts the quality of these dishes proved to be high. We ate in the restaurant area in which one receives waiter service from a barman, who must've been increasingly busy with drinks orders as the pub started to fill up. Overall, I really rather enjoyed myself here, and it is only a shame that I probably won't be in this locality again for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless I would not hesitate recommending to those of you who are and who enjoy generous good value grub and good ale that you should investigate the Robin Hood ASAP. TWG - 27 Sep 2010 17:59 |
| The new gaffer has done well in improving the pub as it was beconming a bit run down as the years progressed. Always has Enville Ale & Ginger plus Bathams as well as 4 changing guests, usually including a stout/mild or something dark. Always in good condition even though it has been rather pricey at times but hasn't gone up in price as much as I'd anticipated recently. Squeezing past the regulars in the passage to get to the loo gets a bit annoying at times as does the pervading smell of chip fat sometimes but the ambience is good and food is excellent. Always worthwhile dropping in! hairy_hippo - 8 Jun 2008 11:41 |
| Came in here on a marathon day sesh a week ago. By this time I'd had a belly full and consequently spilt a third of my pint on my trouser leg. anyhow, i liked this place for well kept beer, its a little out of the way from the others which is a pain in the bum but the staff are friendly and the people are good enough. I'll make more of an effort on my next trip to remember the beers etc, but be assured that the mild, bitter and stout in here are all fine, good quality products.
