| I think EccentricRichard below should try to understand the difference between a pub and a restaurant. This is basically a pub that does good food, and as such it is a dying breed and should be cherished. "Foodies" like Richard, eccentric or not, clutter the place up and should go somewhere else (in my humble opinion) bumble1 - 23 Apr 2012 19:57 |
| Went here a week or so ago. Having recently moved to the area I've been checking out all the local spots and I must say I was quite impressed with The Running Horses. I might come back soon, though it is quite dear considering. christopherP - 8 Apr 2012 22:16 |
| I like this pub. The beer has always been well kept when I've been there. The food is pretty damn expensive but worth it for a special treat. I really don't understand the problem other people seem to have had with the staff. If they make an error and your crisps get damp, tell them! They will sort it. And personally, I prefer someone who doesn't recognise me to enquire 'Good evening sir, what can I get for you?' rather than 'Yeah, and what'd'ya want?' If that's Hyacinth Bucket. bring it on! On the minus side, the parking is abysmal and it's not a place to call in for a meal just because you don't fancy doing the washing up if you are on normal people's wages, but it is what it is: A friendly pub with friendly locals, expensive food and polite staff.

| So nice to get back to a decent pub yesterday's experience of the Black Swan. Beer was good, both the Doombar and Seafarers. The sandwiches (avocado and bacon) turned up swiftly, tasted good and disappeared just the same. Friendly service, don't recognise the comment about the bar staff - they seemed perfectly nice and responsive to me. Definitely one of my favourite pubs anywhere. DOK - 29 Sep 2011 14:35 |
| Lovely building, great location in a pretty village. The beer we had was well kept, but such a dull, conservative selection. There's much, much more to the area that Fullers, Youngs and Shepherd Neame (as fine as they are). Hideously overpriced, and unfriendly stuck-up staff. Mate, when I'm paying your wages, you might want to make eye contact at the very least. Oh, and one of the finest pieces of Hyacinth Bucket pretentious stupidity I've seen recently. When you buy a bag of crisps, they put it in a bowl (presumably to justify the ludicrous price). However, when that bowl hasn't been dried properly from the dishwasher, you get a soggy mess. Style over substance... never a great way to run a pub. sfocata - 26 Sep 2011 12:27 |
