I really want to like this place - the outside looks good, and the inside has two bars and various nooks and crannies. Anything that doesn't move for more than 10 minutes appears to be mounted and stuffed.

However, the quality of the ale (usually Brakspear and and guest/seasonal) is often less-than-average and I've never felt particularly comfortable with the locals. Never usually more than half a dozen in, but they don't send out particularly welcoming vibes to strangers.

I guess it's worth a pint for the stuffed fish and chilli pickled eggs behind the bar.

Super country pub, lots of charm. 5 mins walk up the lane from the Thames. Brakspears and Hobgoblin Cask ales. Bed and Breakfast. Lovely big garden. Friendly and helpful staff.

Visited in mid August. Very odd experience. Food ok but nothing special, bar staff fairly friendly, but I've never been in a ladies' loo with a black ceiling and ancient tiles/sink before. In desperate need of a makeover I think.

Completely agree with 'anonymous may 07'. This place only gets away with the dreadful food and service because of its location. Went on two occasions over last 2 months in the hope that the first visit was a one off. Unfortuately it wasn't. Serving customers seems an inconvenience. The food is very mediocre pub grub v overpriced. despite phoning ahead to check what time they stopped serving lunch on bank holiday, when we arrived we were told in no uncertain terms that for the last half hour it was bar meals only, this was always the case, and it was more than her life's worth to ask the chef to even produce some chips! Not a hint of service with a smile. Take your custom elsewhere at all costs.
