| Newperties Ltd are the owners of the freehold of the Coach and the Coach became vacant following the acceptance by Newperties of an early surrender of the Lease from the previous tenants which was disappointing as Newperties Ltd had carried out substantial refurbishment work at the tenants request prior to the commencement of the tenancy in 2009. Their tenancy had been unsatisfactory. As a result Newperties Ltd have had to undertake works which the former tenants failed to do firstly to meet Fire Officer requirements and secondly as former tenants maintenance of particularly the drainage system the kitchen equipment and carpeting had been poor work is being undertaken to return those to prestine condition. On completion of these works it is expected that a new husband and wife team experienced in this business will reopen in or about this Easter with a fully qualified experienced chief and supporting staff. Rating of this family business is considered (hopefully) by the local community and afar will be high. INK - 21 Mar 2012 11:52 |
| Now closed. Building works ongoing apparently uprating fire protection. Builder made interesting comments about the state of the kitchen and of the place/accomodation in general, and of the departure of the previous tenants. Allegely scheduled to re-open with new tenants around Easter time. sew - 20 Mar 2012 09:26 |
| This is the nearest pub to where I live so when it re-opened last year I dearly wanted it to succeed. But sadly there always seemed to be something missing. Superficially the staff were friendly and efficient but it never felt like a local; more like a way of making money for someone. I'm not naive enough not to know that many pubs are struggling to survive but there is a definite feel when one enters some traditional pubs which this place never had. But as the previous poster says there has been some major staff changes recently and things don't bode well. Especially if you Google and find that the group MD seems to be saying that village pubs are not the growth sector and the group direction has changed. The decor is starting to look tatty, the food quality has gone off although it was never really tasty and the bar is too often unattended whilst food is being served (more staff needed.) All very sad. pubs4us - 29 Aug 2011 11:22 |
| This pub always seems to be busy, and they're getting a huge amount right. There have recently been massive staff changes, with the manager promoted to spearhead the group's move to build a string of "Lazy Cow" inns, the chef changed, and various other, too. The group, I feel, has lost interest and there appears to be little investment in repairs and maintenance; let's hope they don't just think it's a cash cow to feed the Lazy Cows. There will be interesting times ahead, let's see what happens. sew - 31 Jul 2011 08:07 |
| Recently celebrated being open (under present management) for one year, and generally doing very well serving all areas of the community from those popping in for a pint on their way home from work, through "ladies what lunch" to folk going for an evening or weekend meal. If you pick your moment and go for the special offers the wines are well-priced; and the beer is well-kept. It's often surprisingly busy, and shows just what can be done, even in a recession. Children are welcome, as are dogs in the bar area. Basically a very good formula, a genuine pub for all that seems to be doing well. sew - 3 Dec 2010 16:50 |
