| This place continues to improve. From an admittedly low base it has ascended to something resembling a friendly, well run establishment. Whilst catering for a largely young clientele on Friday and Saturday evenings the older punter is certainly not discouraged from enjoying a decent beer at reasonable prices. On my most recent visit there was a rather strange quite elderly looking man at the bar ordering a non=alcoholic ginger beer for himself and a coffee and brandy for his male companion. I thought this a little odd at 9.10am but I guess they found it odd that I was drinking my first pint of beer so early. Anyway, the staff of the Blue Boar are obviously a broad minded bunch as I noticed the ginger beer drinker slip over to the condiment area and fill his pockets with an assortment of sauces and seasonings- I'm sure the bar tender was aware but was able to turn a blind eye. Perhaps he felt sorry for the old boy who rather resembled a near destitute European farmer. The improvement in service is nearly enough to warrant a rating upgrade but I shall visit again in the new year before deciding on such a move. stropmag - 25 Dec 2011 16:26 |
| I have to agree with anon10. This is probably the best Wetherspoons we've visited both in surroundings and food. There's a lovely patio area right at the back with lots of trees in the distance and the atmosphere last sunday was releaxed and friendly. The food was hot and stayed hot throughout the meal - unlike others we've visited. The staff - in particular the duty manager - were very friendly and happy to talk through the choice of beers which, by the way, were excellent. We were here for sunday lunch at 4pm and we'll make this one of our regular haunts. ButchEgg - 15 Sep 2011 13:41 |

| It's nice to see that the staff actually do ID people here no matter what time of day, unlike some places I care to mention. I am often visit here now as I find the atmosphere very pleasant, you never see any trouble here and as a parent of 2 it's nice to know that there is a well managed establishment for the youngsters to go to. However, saying that it has all ages in there so very comfortable for anyone. I've noticed that the quality of food has got so much better and the staff are always so polite and courteous. It was a nice to have somewhere to sit outside and not feel crammed in. I recently attended the pamper/coffee morning they held and wondered just how it could work in a place like that but it was surprisingly very good and obviously well thought out. Hats off to them a great all round place to visit. anon10 - 14 Jun 2011 23:25 |
