| The food here is outstanding, I havent been there for a couple of years mind you, but used to take the parents there when I was at uni. good choice for veggies too. Always found the staff really nice and helpful. Hated driving round the bendy lanes and getting into the carpark though! munners - 29 May 2007 16:40 |

| Dear Mr Lehovel, Staff not paying attention? Get off the high horse and be a bit more tolerant. Just remember its brim glass measures for a pint of beer, or have not you been paying attention? Lets think about the physics of serving up a full measure in such a glass and getting it on the bar to the customer without spilling it? Have you ever served in a bar? Within acceptable tolerances, sheer logic tells us that, you are going to be extremely lucky to get a full 20fl ozs of imperial measure in the standard issue brim measure beer glass used in the UK. My suggestion is take a sup and hand it back for a top up with a smile, it helps :)) , and you might be surprised at what you get! If your still not happy suggest you ask the landlord to consider purchasing some of the over sized line measure glasses. smurfy33 - 21 Jan 2007 12:53 |
| I haven't been in this pub for some time but will be visiting soon as my wife was in the other night with her friends and reported back on the good quality food. There are a number of reviews about not receiving a full pint and one comment saying that if you ask the glass is topped up with good grace. Good grace?!A short measure should not be served in the first place!Can't get the staff these days, obviously don't pay attention to what they are doing. lehovel - 24 Nov 2006 20:29 |
