| i have to agree with dixon75,we took my husbands mum and kids yesterday lunch time and the blonde lady that served us(not sure whether landlady or waitress) couldnt have been more helpful.even helping two fussy kids decide wot to order! decent food,not processed tasting and free apples on the bar for customers,nice touch. really nice day. mmmvodka - 23 Aug 2008 13:46 |
| Firstly I'd like to thank the young blonde waitress who served us on the night when Bohemian Joe was playing his first gig. I didnt catch her name but she was truely excellent in her efficiency, professionalism and her manner, she made the evening a little more memorable. The food was good too, It was hot, well presented, and tasty to boot. However, the live music act situated in the eating area of the pub seemed to be quite poorly thought out. I can understand having a music/vocal act in a drinking pub, or at best in the drinking area of a restaurant, but to have it in the middle of the dining guests just wasnt appropriate. The live act was rather good, but if you want a quite meal, I'd suggets calling ahead. Overall a nice drinking pub, and good for a quick bite to eat, but dont bet on it being quiet enough to have a conversation dixon75 - 18 Aug 2008 09:29 |
| Not what it used to be at all. I know that not everyone is going to like a re-fit and a complete change - but it seems it is getting more quiet by the week. Shame as it's it very nice well kept public house. shelleycourt - 16 Nov 2007 14:25 |
| …sniff…sniff…does one smell another ‘brewery rat’, or is this just the patronising ramblings of yet another member of the ‘grey masses’ who have spent so long being middle class that they have forgotten the long standing traditions behind our ‘public houses’?? Heaven forbid people, yes people, actually using them for that most disagreeable of past-times, the drinking of beer!!! Having run a small business on a local estate for many years I almost feel ashamed to admit that I have, on occasions, frequented the establishment for that very reason, and, sadly, have to also admit to watching the odd football match….alas no more!! For some reason, some faceless brewery-crats seem intent on destroying this pubs character by removing all the things that made it popular!! Customers have already started voting with their feet, and I can only assume that takings must be in free-fall!! Anway…back to our friend below………. QUOTE ‘I have read the reports on the pub from locals and its a shame that they only want a pub for beer drinking and sky tv ,come on lads you can do all that at home ??’ How condescending …..if you had SKY TV and enjoyed your own company then home would be the place to be, but ‘locals’ are more sociable people than that. I assume that at home you have a kitchen?? Traditional English pubs are 300 years old, tucked away out in the country and boost Inglenook log fires….this one falls happily short on every count. Truth be told it’s always used to be a sports bar, but then it always used to be busy, popular and profitable too !!!!!! anonymous - 12 Nov 2007 00:19 |
| I have just moved into the area ,Im not one for eating out but decided to go for a meal with my wife ,WOW what a well kept Pub .The food was fantastic and the service was perfect.I havent seen such a well managed nor clean pub for a long time .I have read the reports on the pub from locals and its a shame that they only want a pub for beer drinking and sky tv ,come on lads you can do all that at home ??.Its nice to see that there is a traditional Engish pub out there.
