| First visited lunchtime for a pint-- it wasnt great-- or was the beer soured by the landladys scowls? Sucking a lemon springs to mind!! However the food menu looked good so we bit the bullet and returned in the evening for a meal. Tried hard to make conversation and found some common ground. Enquired if certain items were homemade and told NO-- we,re a pub, not a restaurant. Sadly this wasn,t reflected in the prices!!. However we were assured that the chips and veg were "real" God , it was awful!! even the frozen peas were inedible-- food overcooked and tough, and the chips were an iceland cheapo special. Now, no disrespect to Iceland-- they do some good stuff , but this food was appalling. When I complained , a couple of locals were asked if they had ever had a bad meal. They cowered in the corner and said no. I suggested they may be scared to venture their true opinion due to the icy demeanour of the landlady, at which point they cringed even more. Enough said-- appalling-- however they were good enough not to charge us. Generous considering most of it was still on the plate. mogrider - 31 Oct 2010 22:36 |
| This was probably the best of 10 pubs we visited in Derbyshire yesterday. The Batemans beer range is nothing spectacular - GHA, XB and Miss Lapland. But what makes this pub special is the cosy atmosphere inside. The location at the centre of the village is good and during the snow yesterday, it was like a scene from a picture postcard. Parking was a little difficult. Didn't try the food. blue_scrumpy - 4 Jan 2010 17:22 |
| Sadly a couple of the Decent pubs in the area where full, strangely enough not this one...or so we thought... This is probably the worst pub in the area. The food is fresh … from the microwave and almost thrown at you. The land lady she verges between hostile and at best just just plain rude! depending on who she is serving. The beer was OK but each glass was soured by the grimaces from the owner as she begrudgingly served each of the sparse customer, A really pretty pub from the outside but an absolutely grim atmosphere inside not surprising they had plenty of tables when all the other pubs where full...avoid...unless your idea of fun is being scowled at and micorwave meals k31ron - 18 Sep 2009 09:02 |
| Fabulous old pub. Very friendly, in a "WOW" village! The place is so steeped in history, it makes you dizzy. Only been in the summer - when the dogs were made as welcome as i was - but i should like to see it around Christmas - very, very cosy atmosphere. Might get cut off tho' - they have plenty of snow. mansfieldmick - 13 Jul 2009 08:20 |
