| Went in just before xmas and a few times since. Absolutely fantastic food not expensive have been to the other locals and found them overpriced with limited menus. Went in with 2 children who are between adult and kids menu so staff arranged for meal off the menu and still not overcharged. Real log fire was on with a family atmosphere , the new people have made it really homely very different to past owners. Gave us choice of sitting in restaurent or by fire we chose the fire. Made sure we were happy with food without being intrusive and checked about drinks refills. Will be going back and would highly recommend to others already have in fact. We neeeded a place like this here, although I would drive to get the really delicious food we have been served. besselslocal - 4 Feb 2012 14:12 |
| The pub's changed hands (possibly more than once) since the last review. I was in there just after the present incumbents had taken over, and things hadn't really settled down. But they seemed to be working along the right lines, and if the pub hasn't become too entirely food based (which is always a danger, and often a death-knell) it looked like having a chance of success. I hope so, because I like the place. earlydrinker - 1 Oct 2011 13:10 |
| I found this pub very quiet, but more in a funereal than a relaxing way. The building is ideally situated for a local, being at the heart of this busy village, but the business isn't what it could be. The interior is basic and tyraditional, but the reception is unfriendly and grudging. Presentation fo the food was poor; it looked very unappetising but was surprisingly tasty - basicv and wholesome. The Young's Best was off, but the Fullers was slightly better. In all, a very ordinary pub which I wouldn't go out of my way to find but which is OK for a drop-in lunch. ETA - 7 May 2010 06:34 |
| Paid this a visit recently and was pleasantly surprised. Very quiet pub with friendly service and log fire next to some comfortable sofa's. Beer is Youngs and London Pride plus Fosters and Stella. No Cider on tap which is unusual, but I guess if nobody wants it there's no point stocking it! Food is cheap and cheerful, but good value. A Thai restaurant is due to open here in the next couple of months. meland - 9 Nov 2009 12:58 |
| The land lady and land lord of this place used to run the Castle Hotel in Eynsford which was a real dive. Hopefully they won't bring this potentially good pub down to the level of the former, although I suspect some of the regulars of the Castle are already infiltrating!!! meland - 16 Jun 2009 12:46 |
