| Based on my first and likely only visit to this beautiful pub, I've given it an 8 out of 10. The beer range was excellent, as was the beer quality, the food (although pricey) was very nice and I received a good portion of whitebait for the money. The inglenook fire was just starting up which lent a lovely ambience to the place, which is a truly lovely building and I could have quite happily spent the day in a cosy corner getting slowly sozzled. I can't compare to the former days as I only went there recently, but I'd go back. Staff were friendly and helpful too by the way! PMA - 31 Oct 2011 09:31 |
| I give this pub a rating of 2, 1 for the the lovely old building and location, and 1 for a nice pint of 6X. After that it's downhill rapidly. We made the mistake of eating there. The menu is limited, the prices are high and the quality of the food is decidedly average. I can only assume that that high praise lavished upon this place in the good pub guide refers to a previous era, it's certainly not worthy of it now. The worst £50 I ever spent!

| A once great pub that is still OK, but lacks it's former quirkiness. The bar and food prices are extortionate for what you're getting, but then the food is tasty and the beers are kept well. The older Scottish guy is very friendly and attentive, but the younger bar-staff need to leave their mobile phones in their coat pockets as they are constantly checking them and not concentrating on their jobs. I wish this place could return to it's former glory, but it seems to be resting on it's old reputations and not trying too hard. I hope that someone sorts things out soon as it's a good-looking pub. littledrummerboy - 12 Apr 2011 19:45 |

| We have been visiting this pub for over 20 years and its a 4 mile walk over the fields but I've joined this site just to give this feedback. This was once a fantastic freehold pub, it was taken over by Wadworth and seemed to continue, however....... Been a busy summer sow we haven't been for a while and what a change...... There are comments of how busy this pub normally is, today it was dead there was only 2 other people in the bar. Thats at 2.30 on a Sunday afternoon. Too late for food, not an issue they normally had some bar snacks, NO more, Crisps, Scratchings (some of the best) sorry we don't have any just a few bits in poncy little dishes. So we just had one drink, picked up the car and went somewhere else. It looks like this is going downhill rapidly, is another comment and I would reitterate this. There is still a photo of 'old Edgar' in the bar who we remember when we first started using the Falklands, it a good job he isn't there now . Don't bother visiting its not worthy of the many awards its won in the past hogath - 12 Sep 2010 16:42 |
