| At last got myself up to try out this wonderful pub fine real ales, and wonderful food.Great friendly family run pub restaurant atmosphere. Landlord is tall skinny German, landlady is Greek they have two adopted sons one from Madagascar the other from Bermuda neither can speak English but that's not a problem.I just wish I did not have 6 cans of tennants before I arrived I could have remembered more about my visit. Still next week I am going to try the Adam&Eve just down the road, I have been told its run by a team of midgets on stilts who sleep in the loft at night will post that review next week after I have done my community service the_spurt - 28 Mar 2011 20:43 |
| Drinkers seem to be pretty thin on the ground here these days even in the small area allocated to them - especially in the evenings. A sign of the economic situation or just that the area isn't one for a pub type bar ? The beer quality (Doom Bar in the last couple of instances) isn't quite what it was either, though still far better than any alternatives locally. I suppose one can't blame them as there isn't the return in a standard pub bar these days. Wonder where the old 'late' drinkers go these days then ? Snarling_Mallard - 27 Feb 2011 16:38 |
| Well can't go wrong in this place. Sure its geared towards eating but still friendly enough to have a decent pint of ale. Staff can't do enough for you. Youngs was fine. Not cheap. Very good atmosphere worth paying the extra for in an area totally devoid of any other decent pubs. stemginger - 30 Jun 2010 11:12 |
| I'd read through the reviews before visiting this pub, but somehow missed the comments about the steep hill! After walking the wrong way up the A1 for 20 minutes from Apex Corner, I finally found the right road only to see the hill gradually get steeper and steeper! On a hot day like yesterday, I must have looked a right state to the Italian landlady who was greeting people. I cooled down with the cider of choice - Bulmers. Real ales on offer were Adnams Bitter, Sharps Doom Bar and Youngs Bitter. The small public bar is fantastic. However, as previous posters have stated, its one table does not accommodate many drinkers, whilst the remaining tables in other rooms are reserved for diners. The bar area has a couple of old paintings of the pub. Outdoor tables at the front are also available for drinkers. The owners appear to like dogs and welcome other dogs visiting with their owners. A really nice public bar with a 'villagey' feel. But I take the point that others have made that this place is now primarily run as a Italian restaurant. It's last entry in the Good Beer Guide was in 2007. But I would still recommend paying a visit here. But make sure you catch the bus (there is a timetable to the right of the bar, but you may have already had to negotiate the hill by the time you see this)! blue_scrumpy - 6 Jun 2010 20:00 |
