Best of the pubs around the mill pond only let down by the lack of bar staff on saturday afternoon leaving long waits for much needed refreshment.
Ale good and plenty of outside seating overlooking the mill pond.

Agree with IITC - the trees over the road are a sight to behold - the bark takes on an almost medical level of detail.

The six foot fusilli twist was a regrettable marketing ploy since the man inside the foam pasta squiggle was a chain smoker and a misery to boot. But it's not everybody that can say they've seen a giant piece of dough smoking a silk cut and scaring small children and for that i am grateful.

The pub itself is unremarkable in many ways and were it not for the millpond it wouldn't be worth a mention. Drab decor, usually a little too quiet. It sounds like it's been turned around by new owners - will increase rating following revisit with the dashing Mr P as I am pleased to announce that I am moving to the area. But not too close, because it's too expensive.

Haven't been for a while but this pub is host to many fond memories. As described, a seat by the milpond in summertime is a treat of the kind that makes you realise life can be blissful after all. Once watched a man dressed as a giant piece of fusili pasta attempting to lure people into the naff restaurant across the water. He seemed to have the opposite effective, everyone noticeably quickened their stride. When you leave the pub look carefully at the trees across the road: some intriguing bark formations.
