Anyone out there remember Benny from Crossroads? If this was a pub it would be him. Big and dull, but inoffensive.

Visited on a walk yesterday. Ringwood Best and Fortyniner and London Pride. Large beer garden, looked a bit gastro inside. Attractive location, seemed short on staff.

OK

First time user, arrived with baby, and 2 other new mums. Notice advised children were welcome but not in bar area. We took seat at the farthest corner in an empty room from another user. Pub took our money and (overpriced) food arrived ages later. One mum breastfed discretely, one of the little ones cried (less than 2-3 minutes) while mum readied herself to feed her. Within minutes we were approached and asked to take the baby outside if she/he cried. Our food was then removed before we had finished. If this pub does not want children, fair enough but have a sign posted advising no children and don't take our money or this is plain daylight robbery. A pleasant day spoiled by upsetting experience treated like second class citizens when we were being as sensitive and discrete as possible.

I visited this pub on a Sunday in May with three friends. We were trying to find another pub and had given up. Reading the reviews as we sat in the lovely beer garden waiting for food, I was rather apprehensive.

However, this pub is ok. It's by no means as bad as some other reviews suggest. On the plus side, our food arrived fast, hot and definitely edible. Not haute cuisine, but better than aveage pub food. I had a good lamb shank with spring onion mash, my partner had beef with roast potatoes and a slightly below par Yorkshire pudding. The others had a smoked salmon and crayfish saad which they thought good. THe service was fine - the landlord was friendly and attentive and the other staff were ok, not overly friendly, but quick and polite. The beer was also good, and a nice selection.

On the down side, the pub does smell a bit, I think from cooking fat. The loos could do with a lick of paint. And the food is a little pricey.

Overall a 6, as it's by no means the worst pub I've been in - far from it, it'sa perfectly adequate sunday lunch pub. Given the surroundings, it could do better though.

We visited this pub at lunchtime on a sunny day in March. It was almost empty. The bar smelt of rancid fat. The staff were unwelcoming. Menus were on curled up sheets of paper. The staff appeared to treat the customers as an inconvenience. When someone phoned to make a reservation for Sunday evening the reply was 'we only serve food Monday to Friday'. A once great pub now to be avoided.
