| A proper pub the way pubs should be. Not a can of white wash paint or sterilisation in sight. Great quality pub food (the best I've come across in a long while), great selection of real ales and spirits. Really friendly staff, who value your custom and go out of their way for you. A true pleasure to spend a relaxing evening within these walls. LocalCat - 26 Sep 2011 14:32 |
| This lovely little village pub is now back in good hands and is transformed once again to its former glory by the lovely new couple who are now at the helm. This is a proper English pub, serving a variety of traditional Ales and Ciders as well as a good choice of wine. I have now been in on 4 occasions and it seems to be getting better and better as more and more people realise that its in new hands. On our visit this Sunday we decided we would give the food a try….. what a lovely surprise. Great homemade pub food with a contemporary twist. Large portions, beautifully presented. I had a starter of baked mini camembert with red onion marmalade and a rocket salad which was absolutely delicious. 2 of us had tian of prawn, crayfish and crab and 1 had pressed confit duck leg. All really really lovely. For main course 3 of us had roast lamb which was really nice. Lovely roast potatoes and one of us had homemade game pie which he was very impressed with. We all shared a cheeseboard for dessert – it was huge!! The cheese was all served at the correct temperature. Lovely gooey blues and a couple of great cheddars and red leicester. Selection of crackers and a piece of iced fruit cake! – you have to try it! We finished our food and listened to some local musicians playing some accoustic blues and folk music. Absolutely wonderful evening had by all. SidneyB - 26 Sep 2011 14:05 |

| The idiot in question was myself, and unfortunately in a town where phone signal is useless, I was stuck and had to find a pub with a decent rather than flaky (the other one in the village) connection. Aware this wasn't good in the pub so moved outside when it got busy to reduce the impact, and will continue to do so if I need to call the USA again. It wasn't a personal call but work, and occurred some 5 weeks ago plus and hasn't happened again. Interesting how I allegedly talked to this person about my alleged life whilst on a work call. I thanked the landlord and apologised for the inconvenience. Sounds like sour beer from someone who doesn't see my custom anymore, wonder who that would be????? osevon - 23 May 2011 22:09 |
| I went to this pub again the other night, the beer was excellent, however the atmosphere was awful, there were only 4 people in the pub, and one was the worlds worst bore, not the pubs fault, however the managers were allowing the idiot to sit and have a very loud conversation on his laptop, in the middle of the pub no less. After exchanging two polite sentences with him, I realised that I never wanted to hear about his life again, but it was inflicted on me, phones are bad enough in pubs, but SKYPE, honestly, please have a thought for others. I am afraid this is the death knell for all pubs, but firstly this one. mattbanahan - 21 May 2011 11:20 |
