| Saturday night - popped in on the offchance of getting fed and watered. Very pleasantly surprised. Very good beer choice - Ossett Brewery Silver King was delicious - and the food was hearty, plentiful and very cheap. Proper pub grub at proper pub grub prices. A nice bustling atmosphere too - this is well worth stopping off at jdawks - 9 Mar 2008 20:32 |
| Great pub that's worth the trip to Thurston for as long as you're somewhere near the area. Real Ale range was limited on my visit last night but what they had (primarily Cottage's Norman's Conquest)was absolutely fantastic to my taste buds and was fresh and lively. Draft Adnam's Bitter was a bit more obvious a choice than the other guest beers that I had hoped to sample but was similarly fine. Prices were unlikely to cause much damage to your finance either. Atmosphere was very cosey and welcoming especially in the non-pool lounge. Staff were friendly and attentive and I never waited more than a couple of minutes to be served despite the pub becoming steadily more busy throughout my time there. Decor and furniture were unfussy and comfortable and helped me feel instantly at ease. It was a shame that I'd already eaten before my visit as Thursday night is their "Steak Night" where in addition to a list of fine sounding steaks you could also enjoy some more exotic meats such as Ostrich, Kangaroo, Wild Boar and even Crocodile for a not particulalry cheap but certainly reasonable price. If the food is as good as the beer this may well be on the way to acheiving some sort of Pub nirvana! Oh and as an added bonus the clientele are generally polite, considerate and well behaved.

| Proper village local and a genuine Free House - very refreshing in the heart of "Greene"land. Hosts are very welcoming and there is a fine regularly changing selection of 7 or 8 real ales from all over the country. This is CAMRA's Pub of the Year in this area for 2007. Very handy for the railway station. editor - 22 Jun 2007 11:00 |
| A great 'local'. Well managed, great staff, good atmosphere, good selection of beers and reasonable prices. It feels like a part of the community it serves. As a non (ex)smoker I look forward to it becoming smoke free but I hope that doesn,t change it's character. greylady - 14 Jan 2007 10:27 |
| Very good village local with friendly staff and customers. Has a good selection of guest beers on and a guest lager. It's best to go on a Friday when the new beers go on. Fakenham - 19 Oct 2006 12:50 |
