| A real rough place.. best avoided phonak - 17 Jan 2010 18:15 |
| Never been in here before, Ive heard a few things about it though, such as the last landlord trying to turn it into to an ale house but with no success, due to poor beer quality or no ale at all!! new people have it now and I'm told still serve real ale! I enter the pub and am greeted with 5 men all swearing and drinking lager, not a good start. I browse the bar and find real ale pumps but all clips are turned round, I ask if ale is available and am told " No, we got smooth?" No thanks I say and decide to leave. I cant see me going to The Hare And Hounds again even if they did have ale on, its not my sort of pub. alehead1 - 2 Nov 2009 12:19 |
| Still a bit rough around the edges,but I've quite warmed to the 'new' image! The focus is more on 'entertainment' with live bands over the weekends. Only 2 of the 4 pumps on during my visit,Robinson's Tit for Tat being the pick. Worth the deviation when the bands are on.... nuckster1511 - 30 Jul 2009 19:42 |
| It has indeed reopened. Going to try it out this week. Sharp - 14 Jun 2009 22:51 |
| I had been told that this place had improved, but I struggle to see much difference in the decor or clientele. However, it did at least have one real ale on unlike my previous visit in 2007 - see four posts down the list. This was a gingerish pint of Sly Fox (with just the name hand-written on a pump clip, and I had to Google it when I returned home to find out that it was from Everards). From what I was told, they do at least seem to try different beers rather than sticking to something dull like Greene King IPA. rpadam - 15 Apr 2009 22:34 |
