| First visit for a very long time. Nice atmosphere, although was quiet (~4pm on Sunday afternoon). Sat outside and watched the cricket while quaffing a Tring Brewery offering (Side Pocket). Will visit again and maybe try the food. Mr_ESB_Harry - 17 Jul 2011 22:17 |
| GOOD NEWS !!! This very attractive local village pub, has been taken over by new owners. The landlord (Ian) and landlady (Claire) are very welcoming and introduced themselves on arrival with my wife. Very friendly atmosphere and the food is fantastic, all cooked from fresh in a tiny kitchen !! I have eaten here 3 times and each time the food has a 'WOW' factor. A large choice and loads of veggie options. I would recommend everyone that remembered and loved the 'Old Leather Bottle' to re visit, you will not be disappointed !! hemveg - 23 Apr 2011 10:51 |
| OH dear, whats happened to this pub? A few years ago this used to be a very good boozer. I would take customers here for lunch and sometimes an evening meal if they were from abroard and wanted to try a typical English pub. Went in here on the evening of 22 June with a European visitor. The beer was horrible with a hint of vineger, it was changed for a beer equally as nasty. The manageress said she did not drink this beer so did not know what it tasted like!!! Rough bunch of customers and children in the pub. Seems to a CHAV overspill from the pub next door. Won't be going again and have informed everyone in my company that would use it. rpf1955 - 24 Jun 2010 21:17 |
| Why is this pub not better than this. Such a great looking boozer but something is just sooo wrong with it. On this occasion, the pub had a couple of kids running up and down the bar area. My wife thought they were the Landladies, but could not vouch for it. The kids ran back and forth between the end of the bar with the TV screen... up to a group of fairly well-oiled folks at the far end. Their was one bar staff on duty ... and er well sort of strange! She was wearing some sort of hat indoors.... and her cheery welcome when I approached the bar was to just stare at me over the top of her eyes! I waited a few seconds then she said "can I help?" in a sort of Catherine Tate, 'whatever' way! The choice of real-ales were just the standard fair. Just 2 available when I visited. The others were off-sale! What happened to the Timmy Taylor Landlord?! The taste was well, sort of a little strange... The pint was clear, but just had a sort of sharp twang to it, my wife thought it had a smell like a-hint-of-bleach! Oh well, suppose I will have to drive to the Six Bells and stick to just to the one pint... Mind you, I only had the one pint on this visit and left! Shame... I want this pub to work... its in walking distance, but every time it just seems to disappoint. Nottoofussy - 17 Apr 2010 00:08 |
| Bombardier, London Pride, GK IPA and Old Speckled Hen, not very exciting at all really. However, Hobgoblin is the guest ale at the moment. I have had better, but it was in pretty good nick. Food is OK, and the service, for both food and drink, was first class. Well worth a return visit. Phantom_Pigeon - 22 Oct 2009 14:15 |
