| Returned to this pub recently. It has changed - for the better. I didn't particulary like the beers Jack o Legs from Tring Brewery and Old Speckled Hen from Moorland (?) (I don't like Wychwood either so Hobgoblins a non-starter for me.) but they seem to be trying different beers so that's a good thing and not all bitters suit all drinkers as we know. However the food was fantastic pub grub and so well cooked and presented. Best meal in a pub for absolutely ages! No complaints at all from the four of us. I concur with the comments below. It is so unusual to find two such charming and friendly women behind a bar nowadays. Inside very well laid out and friendly! Try their site (waggon&horseselstree) looks like they do a bit of entertainment. I'll be back when out this way. stemginger - 24 Jan 2012 15:21 |
| Have family visiting from Australia, so brought them here today for lunch to see an old pub in a leafy bit of the country. Original part was built in the fifteenth century apparently. It looks much as you'd expect - low ceilings, wood beams, a couple of fire places - all very nice, and there's a cute tea room tucked away inside. The choice of beer was pretty ordinary - Speckled Hen and Hobgoblin - but the food was good quality pub grub and came in pretty generous portions. All in all it's a nice place and well worth a visit, but what really made the pub stand out was the barmaid, a beautiful blonde girl who never stopped smiling, was kind, welcoming, enthusiastic, couldn't have been more helpful, was just utterly charming. Such a change from the usual grim-faced depressives. If the management ever read this, you should definitely pay her more. She's a gem! Fafnir - 19 Sep 2011 20:24 |
| Changed from my last visit (some time ago) from somewhere more open plan back to a represention of a pub. Staff seemed friendly enough though the ale (Pride - it was either that or the usual GK suspects) wasn't particularly nice. Snarling_Mallard - 22 Nov 2010 16:34 |
| Decent locals pub with polite staff, well kept beer and some good outdoor music in the summer. Does get very busy at weekends. GaryB007 - 11 Aug 2010 21:36 |
| Went in for a pint and with the intention of eating. Difficult to get served so didn't bother with the food. It wasn't a problem with there being lots of people waiting it was more to do with this being (I suspect) a locals pub where people from 'outside' are, from our experience ignored. Very 'clicky' pub. The ale was ok the ambiance was not! stemginger - 9 Aug 2010 10:50 |
