| Popular village pub that's been extended out the back in an anonymous standard issue pub fayre manner that pulls in families for meals in the pub garden overlooking the large car park. The original bar is tidy, but original charm and character is hard to find. 4 casks including one from Nelson. Best, Directors, Spitfire. SilkTork - 3 Aug 2008 23:37 |
| Nice enough village pub. Staff appeared friendly, but the relatively loud music seemed rather out of place. Had a nice pint of Nelson Brewery IPA which I've not tasted before. rpadam - 13 Apr 2008 21:50 |
| After visiting this charming country pub back in march 2005, i have pretty much made it my local, i decided to get on here and give it the much deserved praise that it is due. I have read the unfounded comments made by anonymous individual's and can only come to the conclusion that these are based on "sour grapes". I personally have found the new menu to be greatly improved and have not had one bad meal there! And i eat there a lot! The staff have settled into the new way of things since the new management took over a year ago, and after talking to a lot of them about the changeover they all seem very happy and feel they are supported by their managers. Recently the pub introduced live music on the last saturday of every month, its gone down a storm! A great atmosphere and a well needed change on a Saturday night. They also showed all the world cup Rugby games, which was a great idea and the only pub in the area doing so! I was also informed that they wanted to steer the pub toward the rugby crowd, rather than football, and seeing that most pubs cater for the football supporters this can only improve and make it a better family atmosphere. All I can say is "well done" and if this is any indication of which way the pub is going, it has my full support anonymous - 9 Nov 2007 12:53 |
| the bell is a lovely looking and child friendly pub,with ample parking space. however there is much room for improvement. since the change of management many things has suffered. i.e the food. the portions are smaller and on more than one occasion i have had to return the food.this is normally when the pub is very busy and demands on the kitchen staff and chef are high.the childrens menu has improved alot and there is a good choice. there does seem to be a problem with the beer in the main bar, which is often flat.however beer brought in the top bar is good.the outside area is large with plenty of garden benches,can be difficult to find a clean glass free table tho. the bar staff are good and work very hard,in what sometimes can only be described as a madness situation.as a regular customer i feel that some members of the new management have little respect for their staff and local regular customers. which in time could be their downfall. on a positive note, this pub is a beautiful country pub, the steak is usually good, beer in a bottle is always not flat and some members of the management are not often about, which more often than not, is a bonus!! anonymous - 10 Sep 2007 11:47 |
| I would just like to say, that the new management, in the pub are doing a really good job and it's a breath of fresh air. However, they do need to re-home some of the old winging customers that don't like change and improvements. Frankly they can be quiet rude and up themselves. I can't wait for the new menu to start, as it's well over due. Just remember change is good. anonymous - 1 Dec 2006 23:09 |
