| Speak as you find. Wish this pub was near to me! I called in for lunch as we drove north on the M1, as we avoid service stations at all costs. Found this place from the Good Beer Guide 2010. What a lovely landlady. So helpful and friendly. Beer range was excellent in my view - the Purity was in superb condition. And the food good too in quality and price. The local residents should value what they have and support the place. We even got her advice about a B/B place up the road when we are next due to drive north, as will use it as a stopover as an excuse to visit this pub again. GrahamH - 14 Dec 2009 20:20 |
| Agree with all previous comments about excellent staff and friendly atmosphere. There does seem to have been a change on beer policy over the past year or so though. On previous visits it seemed that there were four real ales offered which were regularly changed and always in good condition. On my most recent visits there have only been three - Batemans XB and Purity Gold at 3.8% each and TT Landlord which I found to be indifferent. This is such a good boozer in all other ways it would be a real shame if ale standards slipped further from the previous very high level. Thuck_Phat - 14 Sep 2009 11:49 |
| I have to agree with the previous poster that I felt dismay also at the comments left by the previous poster. As far as I am aware, the current landlady has been at the pub since the beginning of this year and in that short space of time, they have worked tirelessly to make the business a success. The music weekends that were referred to are an occasion to bring the villagers together and really raise the community spirit. The music weekends have happened over the last few years, not just this year, but were far more organised this year compared to previous. The bands that play are normally local bands from the surrounding areas that are extremely talented - you never know, you might see the next Beatles or Stones on that stage before they hit the big time! I have nothing but praise for the team of staff that have taken over this pub, the atmostphere is always friendly and welcoming and the food since the appointment of the new chef around February has been SUPERB! Only bad thing you could say is there is just too much of it! They seem to be constantly striving to provide a great service whilst supplying a wealth of entertainment. Can't fault them! Long may they continue to be successful - in a village where there isn't much else to do, I don't know where I would go if the pub wasn't there! Fancyahalf - 10 Sep 2009 18:23 |
| I read with dismay the comments about the efforts that are being made by the landlady and all involved at trying to keep the village pub open. The fact that they have had these music festivals (that are fully licensed, authorised by the police and the courts) has meant that they had the revenue to carry on with the failing repair work from the previous owners, to hopefully attract more newcomers into the village and save yet another village pub from closing. The comment made about the villagers not being asked their views on these occasions, well i'm sorry but the days of the 'peasants asking the squire for his permission' has well and truly died out, or so i thought. I have been to most of these events and to be honest with you there are not many of the villagers that you dont see there, so maybe the few that like to moan should try and do what most villages ask of their communities, SUPPORT WHAT YOU HAVE GOT BEFORE YOU LOSE IT peterpan13 - 28 Aug 2009 01:25 |
| I have lived in Welton for 10 years and have always supported the pub with regular visits for family meals, but the last year has been spoilt by their decision to organise pop and rock live music on several weekends until midnight. Locals have no choice but to endure the noise, which continues well after midnight, followed by noisy exits of punters past our home. We have complained to the landlady, who just confirms that they have a licence and they have a business to run - but the residents of Welton were not consulted on the granting of this license, and the landlady does not appear to realise that she could be alienating the very customers she is relying on to make her business a success. valtown - 1 Aug 2009 00:24 |
