Went here with another couple and we felt this pub has atmosphere even with its high ceiling (in places) and ample room between tables. The Badger ale was fine, service was both pleasant and efficient and the food was good too. Surprised there weren't more people there, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Has a cosy feel despite its size and was very clean.We arrived for a meeting with several others just before it got really busy, but the staff were polite and efficient.
The Tanglefoot tasted very good and overall the food was great, possibly a bit pricey but it was presented well and the options are a bit better than your average pub chain. (Haddock Benedict with Salsa, Mustard Mash which was great and Chicken and Ham Pie with veg.) The missus says you could taste the vegetables and they weren't overcooked.
Will call again someday.

What is the significance of the Wodehouse-inspired name of this pub? Anyone know how long it has been thus-called?

This pub is a wonderful find, you are pleasantly greeted on arrival and wished well on departure.

Being a vegetarian, the choices are great but if there is nothing on the menu that appeals, the chef will discuss alternatives and accommodate.

All the staff are helpful and cheerful and we have never had a bad experience whilst visiting.

Paid 25 pounds for a 3 course meal that included being told to hurry up 6 times by serving staff as the kitchen closes in 30 minutes, each course served immediately after each other including desert with coffees.
The turkey in the meal was very tasteless and perfectly round so obviously partially manufactured.

Poor service - low quality food - very disappointed !!!
