| I'm sorry vespaboy had a bad experience of the pub when he posted his review in 2009. However, on the few occasions I've visited the pub just to see bands I've found both bar staff and regulars to be quite friendly. Perhaps the landlord has changed since then. For non alcoholic drinkers, they serve a pint of blackcurrant & soda for just 50p! Result! Their car park could be a lot bigger though.

| Well I was there to see a band on 27th July and I was insulted and threatened with physical violence by a " regular" who said it was a locals pub and they didn't want xxxxxxxx visiting just to see the bands. Worst still, the lanlord condoned the behavior of his "regular" - obviously spends a lot over the bar. 40 pubs a week closing - hope this is one of them soon. vespaboy - 29 Jun 2009 11:27 |
| Dating from the 18th century (when it was a coaching inn), this is Fair Oak's standout pub (although The Fox & Hounds is also worth a look). Nothing special to look at, it nevertheless has a decent atmosphere and at least a pair of ales on. Pride's a given, and last I was in there they had Bombardier on. It's essentially split, with two bars - one with TVs and seating, the other with one screen and a pool table. The landlord has a couple of big but friendly dogs. The only real downer is that it can get very smoky inside, during the winter. For the summer there's something of a beer garden, although it's basically a bit of decking in the car park...
