| Unlike the previous reviewer we weren't looking for railway memorabilia, nor did we look at a website that hasn't been updated in a while but went in because we often do when in the area and like it. Sat by the log fire, admired a glossy black dog belonging to one of the customers [not enough dogs in pubs these days], sipped our cider & lager and wished we hadn't already eaten as the venison with dumplings sounded so good. The Metrobus 270 bus stops outside so you can get there without driving, perfect. c_and_j - 19 Nov 2011 23:39 |
| Disappointed in this pub. I booked this as we were going on the Bluebell Line and thought it would be nice to stop for lunch as it was a treat for my partners father. I had seen on the Horsted Keynes website that there are lots of railway memorabilia in the pub which appealed as my partners father is really into railways and trains and as The Green Man don't have a website I went by this comment that had been left in August 2011. I rang and booked the table for 13 chairs (11 adults and 2 children) plus 2 highchairs. I felt I had made myself clear as you can see it clearly states 13 chairs and 2 highchairs. This was booked, agreed and we looked forward to it. I rang the day before we were due there to confirm that we had our booking of 13 chairs (11 adults and 2 children) plus 2 highchairs and again they agreed this was fine. I wanted to double check the highchairs as one of the babies in particular is too fidgety to be fed without one. All confirmed and all great. We got off the train at Horsted Keynes and made the 25 minute walk from the station - not leisurely and 2 very big hills! Think before walking it with elderly and very young children. Phewy!! But we made it up the hill and were delighted to see the pub which looked nice. from the outside. We walked in and were greeted by a modern pub - a bit like a chain pub with only one piece of train memorabilia - a lamp on the wall. How incredibly disappointing. We went to our table and found there was only 1 highchair. When I checked with the guy behind the bar and said I'd ordered 2 he said they have only ever had the 1 and that 1 they had only bought recently so he was confused why I had been confirmed twice as 2 highchairs. Clearly whoever I spoke to on those 2 occasions didn't feel it was important to have the highchairs. One of our babies had to be fed on her fathers lap, not ideal. There were also not enough chairs and I was crammed onto the end and I overheard this same guy saying to a member of my group that 'well only 11 people were booked'. Excuse me!? I was very clear so do not blame the customer!!! I was told I would be given cutlery which I wasn't and had to then ask again when my food arrived. I had ordered the large (main) risotto but was told they didn't have enough so I couldn't have that. I had to settle for something I didn't really want. Food was ok but not the service I am used to. natzjane - 20 Sep 2011 14:19 |
| Visited again last week and as usual everything from the food to beer to service was excellent. Especially worthy of note as this was a quiet mid week lunchtime after the schools were back. Excellent ham ploughmans. We will definitely be returning tinplatetony - 18 Sep 2011 12:14 |
| A proper pub with loads of railway memorabilia. Used to be a top venue for bar billiards - happier days. tommo5 - 9 Aug 2011 22:09 |
| Great pub. Have popped in twice recently for a Saturday lunch. Staff are always friendly, and the food portions are very generous. Good beer selection too. Hogarth - 25 Jan 2010 09:42 |
