| This used to be one of my favourite pubs for a country lunch and a couple of pints. It still looks absolutely brilliant for whiling away an evening at any time of the year, accompanied by a few pints of beer, but I won't be returning. We recently had lunch there on a wet and windy Saturday. We were a few minutes late in arriving for our 2pm booking. It was explained to us that the kitchen would close at 2.30 on the dot, no exceptions possible. So we got on with ordering. I was immediately disappointed to find that the vegetarian main course was exactly what I remembered having a year ago, and was a very unimaginative offering at that. We asked about children's food and it was explained that they could do children's portions of things on the main menu. Fine but what they didn't tell us was that we'd get charged £9 for two sausages and a few anemic chips. We queried after the meal and were advised to call the manager later. When we did so we learnt that kids are considered purely as "bums on seats", taking up space that could be more profitable if occupied by adults, so kids' portions were charged at a deliberately offputting rate. I won't be back. Other pubs manage to do fantastic food and have a reasonable attitude to children too so I'll take my business elsewhere. KSmith - 25 Nov 2009 16:54 |
| Really good little pub, very cosy and welcoming. Good service and excellent food, if a little on the expensive side. Plenty of proper ale on the go behind the bar in distinctive kegs. They've just built an extension onto the back of it to provide extra dining space, but well worth visiting just for a cosy drink next to the open fires. jrhgreenwich - 24 Feb 2009 07:06 |
| Excellent Harvey's Old recently. Real fire. Friendly staff and locals. Richard49 - 1 Feb 2009 17:18 |
| I often eat and drink here for two main reasons, first for the food that is outstanding (has gone down hill a little lately, not sure why) and the second reason is to watch the drunken manager stumble around the pub/restaurant bumping into tables and customers trying in vain to hold it together. Worth a visit for this alone hilarious…. barryjames - 21 Dec 2008 11:14 |
| This is somewhere I’ve driven past so many times and have intended to visit for so many years. I walked in to dismay – no hand pumps. And then I realised. The beer comes straight out of the barrel. Heaven! Three ales and a cider. We had lunch – the stilton ploughman’s was very tasty. The beer garden is huge and we spent a pleasant two hours here. The only negative is the fact that they close on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm. What’s that all about? MankyBadger - 16 Aug 2008 22:28 |
