| This place is going downhill even faster than ever. The landlord is selling off everything he thinks he can spare. It long now before the bank steps in and things will change then. In spite of all this he insists on draining the slop trays back into the barrel. No wonder the beer is so bad brownbread - 22 Nov 2011 16:17 |
| The rudest landlord/barman I have met, with a disgusting habit of sneezing constantly into you r beer or food. Overpriced and living on a byegone reputation. Not even worth the detour off the A1. brownbread - 9 Aug 2010 11:33 |
| The Nag's is the only pub in the village and manages to balance the excellent hotel sectiion with a taproom of great repute, a difficult task that they have pulled off well. Dealing with the tap room alone then, it is large and pleasant, with photographs of military jets and other paraphenalia donated by the local RAF stations. The beer is always fine and due to an excellent restaurant, you can get a bit more than the standard pub grub. On one trip there, the day's menu was chalked up inside (it never seems to be the same two days running) and I got the feeling that the menu consisted of whatever had been poached the previous evening, though I am sure that's not the case. I ate there just the once and chose the gammon steak, expecting a dry, quarter inch slice with a pineapple ring. To this day I have not forgotten that meal! When it came it was an inch thick and covered the whole plate, juicy with some kind of brandy sauce. Absolutely delicious. Visitors may notice that the walls are covered by cut ties. The staff have for years harvested the ties of unsuspecting customers with the help of a pair of large cloth shears. So beware! Cibalia - 14 Apr 2009 07:13 |
| A Good Beer Guide regular not far from the currently being upgraded A1, half the pub is an upmarket restaurant with very good food; the other half the village pub. I suppose you could call it a gastro pub with a public bar, although good quality simpler pub food is also available. It labels itself a “residential country inn and restaurant” Products of both branches of the Theakston family are available but although not bad both the Black Sheep bitter and the Old Peculiar had little condition on my last visit. Decent range of Malts and especially wines as expected from this class of place. anonymous - 4 Apr 2009 10:26 |
