| December 2011. Still closed, and looking rather derelict. However, was it supported by the villagers? Braganca - 17 Jan 2012 16:22 |
| On 11 January 2009 The Sunday Mirror reported that the landlord, John Westendorp, had given away all of the pub's furniture and fittings, including the carpets, and then absconded without paying the rent he owed to the brewery. When told the bosses at Vale Brewery were trying to find him he added "good luck to them". stanley_C - 11 Jan 2009 21:54 |
| Friendly and quite quiet on a Wednesday evening, with a choice of four really nice real ales. I was drinking a lovely dark beer the name of which I forget (sorry) and Nethergate Augustian, also v tastey and quite dark. Really looking forward to the beer festival from 26th - 28th Sep. sloe_jane - 11 Sep 2008 21:32 |
| There's always a good range of decent and interesting beer at GE, a rarity these days. The beer garden is a great place for a drink on a sunny evening or weekend afternoon, and there's often a fire roaring inside in winter. The beer festivals are worth looking up - the next is late in September, I recall. The food is inexpensive and perfectly sound. And John now has grand plans for redeveloping the garden and expanding the car park. Worth a visit if you don't know it - and a pleasant haunt to return to if you do. Rodster - 4 Aug 2008 21:40 |
| You should organise an outing to the Vale Brewery's piece de resistance in Aylesbury - and I doubt very much if John the Landlord sources his own beer....... Still, it must have improved at the General under the Vale tutelage - it was a real duffer years ago. DeepThought - 18 Jul 2008 18:06 |
