| The cow has had another change of landlord, yet again, just before christmas 2011. We hoped it would be a saving grace for this pub, which could be a very good local. Things were going good, food started with more customers comming in, and some entertainment at the weekends was provided. Things were looking up....or so we thought. Recently I started hearing reports that the landlord has lost all his bar staff (walked out) and that regular customers were leaving in their droves. I could not believe this, so one night I went in to find out what was going on. And I wish I had not. The landlord was very rude with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. So I left it never to return.

| Any rating system is a matter of taste - if you like loud chavs, lazy staff (it took over 30min for our plates to be taken away) and poor food then this is the place for you. The whole time the barmaid served me she was talking to some kids who must have been her friends at the bar, and when I asked for ice...if looks could kill. It was my first and definitely my last visit. lovestheponds - 24 Jun 2010 16:28 |
| I must say i do agree with bristolbeerdrinker,i have been drinking in the pub since sarah and simon were running before simon's parents margaret and gerry came into in may time.there was a bit of trouble at the start but since they got rid of numpty's its been really good,as for the food its the best in fishponds, if your sort of food is a nice bit of microwave grub from some chain pub's then your welcome to it,as for the sunday roast it is the best ive ever had.as for young people working behind the bar i think simon and sarah would take that as a compliment, its really nice to go to a family run pub with people you can talk to,i dont know were you got under age drinkers from they ID everyone even the people that look old enough, Small minded people like woodwell need to get out more and get a life noseybeerdrinker - 17 Feb 2010 23:16 |
| Woodwell - Interesting previous review - says it all when you say 'Alex' is doing a great job in the Keys You obviously dont expect a decent pint in a clean welcoming environment. Margaret and Gerry are a proper landlord and landlord who clean their beer lines, polish the tables and dont spend all their time getting pissed. As for the food, if you dont book on Sunday you wont get a dinner. Says it all really. And as for the youth club? I dont think so Been barred have u - how sad you to steep so low. Proper pub - Well worth a visit bristolbeerdrinker - 15 Feb 2010 18:02 |
