| The food is very overpriced, the ales are not very good midweek they try to have every hand pump on and they do not have the sales to warrant that.If you ask a question they look at you in a blank fashion. The longer you spend in here the poorer the place becomes.Only one decent pint after a week in the village was a poor performance. slerpy - 5 Nov 2010 22:18 |
| Have to agree with Steve's review, pub great, beer range great, service great & friendly, location perfect - food overpriced and poor. Tried 4 meals between myself & Mrs during our week's stay nearby and curry was tasteless with tough meat, pork & cider pot tough meat (Microwave, microwave, microwave!), fish & chips - lovely batter but seemed to have forgot to coat the advertised fillet of fish in it. Hey ho. {sigh} MisterX - 8 Jun 2009 19:52 |
| The pub itself is lovely, and the choice of beer is fantastic. If I was judging on those 2 things alone I would give a 8/10. However the food was diabolical and vastly overpriced. My girlfriend had 'chicken a la king' from the specials board, and it was like a bad school dinner- veg cooked to death, and tasteless chicken in an insipid, watery sauce. My meal wasn't much better. steve_on_tour - 26 Mar 2008 13:27 |
| Turned up on a rainy, october Monday evening. Comfy, cosy and friendly...sat down and enjoyed a huge platter of local mussels drenched in butter and lemon as a starter followed up by a prime platter of fishy goodness with all the trimmings. Garden was a convenient and serene spot for a smoker to reflect the summer they missed out on. A great periodic place to visit and savour the local delights. clubvibe - 31 Jan 2008 00:20 |
| Somewhere out there is the perfect pub, the one that ticks all the boxes, the one without a single noticeable flaw. I don't know if it actually exists, but the Wild Goose must come very close. This tucked-away little beauty has been a pub for centuries, and is still about as lovely a country pub as you could hope to find. The interior is all very olde worlde without being tacky, there's a massive open hearth fire in the winter, and a pretty little garden round the back should the sun deign to shine. There is no piped music, no jukebox, no machines, and no pool table or dartboard. The ales are uniformly excellent, with seven constantly changing and always interesting (mostly local) brews. Last time I was in they had a 'real lager' on, and the time before that I tried a particularly delicious green-coloured ale called Step Into Spring (I think). The quality and choice of beer is matched by the food on offer - all fresh, locally-supplied ingredients, cooked (not microwaved) to order. And very tasty. We popped in for a drink last Tuesday, only to find that it was 'Chish & Fips Night'. A better battered haddock I have yet to eat - my only regret was that I had no room for the homemade treacle tart. Why isn't this the perfect pub? Because it's not within walking distance of my house! A friendly country pub to cherish. tommarto - 14 Jun 2006 20:17 |
