| Back in 1997 there were two very good reasons for visiting this pub. She no longer works there sadly. FuzzyDuck - 5 Jan 2012 12:18 |
| A good visit this time. A man behind the bar was friendly, the Biddendens cider was in excellent condition. I didn't try the food. The music was at a reasonable volume this time (although I still think canned pop, even if quiet, does not go well with real cider & ale and a log fire at a remote house in the woods). jgurney1 - 4 Jan 2012 19:44 |
| My wife and I stopped off for lunch here over the weekend and were unpleasantly surprised by the attitude of the lady behind the bar (presumably the landlady). Reading the comments on this site, I see this is not an isolated experience. I read the menu at the bar and asked the landlady where we could sit, while my wife went to the loo. Literally 1 minute later, as we walked across to the dining room, she stopped us and began to tell us off for coming in to use her toilets without buying anything. This seemed both rude and bizarre to me, but I hadn't come for an argument so didn't start one. However, when this uncalled for aggression was coupled with some very mean ploughman's lunches (see below) and a pint of orange and soda for £3.20 I felt the need to comment. The food was decent but definitely far too expensive for what you get. The price of soft drinks seems to show serious contempt for the public. The only pubs that charge £3.20 for orange and soda are the ones that don't care what their customers think. I certainly shan't be coming back here, but as the pub seems to thrive on passing trade from walkers I expect it will continue to get away with it. hogsflesh - 3 Jan 2012 16:11 |
| Ive been here a few times on a sunday and always enjoyed the visit. Great to try the beers from their brewery. After sampling them all (and no i didnt pay for the sample nor for a glass of water), i had a few Crooked Farrows and really enjoyed them. We have had a couple of starters with some chips and all were good. The locals have always been very friendly, as was the landlady. I'll be going back for sure but its a shame the garden isnt utlilsed more. l80pje - 13 Sep 2011 13:25 |
