Sadly, this pub should be named "The Grumpy Farmer"! As someone had previously mentioned, the chaps who run this place are both miserable as sin!! why on earth would you be in a customer facing enviroment if you cannot even muster a smile for people paying good money for food and drink?? It's a shame actually as the pub itself has a warm and comfortable feeling to it and there is a good selection of ales to choose from......just a shame that the service is so poor!!

Good selection of beers and I have always found them well kept. They get some unusual ones, but you have to be quick as a barrel doesn't seem to last very long.

Great position if you are walking, but you shouldn't be late if you want to eat at lunch time.

Regarding the 'attitude', I watched both landlords recently put up with the worst string of abuse, swearing, insults and aggression I've ever seen from a bunck of drunken rugby yahoos - and they dealt with it all (hours!) quietly, reasonably and with incredible patience. It was an eye-opener - fair play to them. Best real ales for miles and miles.

This is an excellent ale house and certainly the best in this whole area, it's an absolute gem with eight excellent real ales and continental beers as well!
The food is excellent with a varied menu of high quality at a reasonable price. It's a beautiful old building with friendly clientel and bar staff.
The pub landlords are two brothers who are always friendly and willing to talk to you about the ales on sale at any particular time. All in all a great pleasure to go there!

Been going to the Jolly for years and remember with fondness the legendary giant tacos they used to serve - put them back on the menu! The current Landlord's miserable attitude is unfortunately also becoming legendary. Always seems busy in there though so that's probably why he doesn't give a toss. Perhaps it has the opposite effect on punters and is an attraction for those wanting a "Basil Fawlty" experience. Shame though because it's a decent pub otherwise.

Food is always reasonable and a good selection of beer, which is normally well kept. One thing though - if I do have to take a bad pint back to the bar, I do not want to be told by an (otherwise pleasant)Australian lady that there's nothing wrong with it. I've been indulging that particular ale for 30 years and know when to drink it and when to put it on my chips!

I won't be informing the landlord of my posting as he'll probably "nut" me.
