| A flying visit long lost in the mists of time was superceded by a return trip here last Saturday evening. Very pleased to see so little has changed in terms of decor and fittings. A hubbub of conversation was babbling from the already full main bar area and the small side room was nearly all taken up as well. A cheerful and welcoming landlady leapt up from her seat in front of the bar to pour our drinks. A very decent range of four local beers was offered, although, to be honest, both our choices were faintly disappointing in being nothing less than OK, but nothing more than OK. I bought a pack of three of their own branded beers, brewed for them by the local Slaughterhouse Brewery and they are very good indeed. The bar billiards table is still in situ as well and there is a shelf of second-hand books and a box of pump clips with donations to the RNLI. All in all, well worth the trip back and I'm probably just being over-picky in expecting the ale to be outststanding. I'm sure another trip will beckon sooner than the intervening 12 years or so since the previous one. Gristy - 14 Feb 2011 14:05 |
| I have also found this pub nice on the outside but less so on the inside. Yes it stocks some good real ales, BUT there is no welcome in the pub itself, which i believe is important. Whilst I hate the game of golf I find mr biro's 'review' and comments very biased and chip on shoulder - were you once under par or refused membership. Golfers come from every class despite it being *hite game. Anyhow go have a nice pint but dont expect conversation or welcome. neilos66 - 9 Jan 2011 00:02 |
| A good walk from the nearest public transport, but it makes the beer go down all the better. I found the pub to be a truly relaxing country hostelry, with no music. Turn off your mobile phone before you go in, or it's a £1 fine if it rings. Contrary to a previous review, I found it welcoming, and the beer was beautiful. An ideal place for a quiet session.

| I used to drink here before I moved away from the area. Good little pub, with good beer too. With respect to the comment below, if one may soundbite... "16 Professional men" "Golf Society meeting" "2 and a half hours responsible drinking" Erm, to take point... Is the money professional men, or women, any better than that of others. As a member of a proffesional institute, the RICS, I think not. If I were a publican, I would gladly serve all, be they a ground worker, a shelf stacker or the Lord Chief Justice, Igor Judge. Golf Society Meeting; says it all really. The rock and roll life style didn't pass you chaps by, did it? [Giles] "Oh my lord! look at that paint drying over there!" [Nigel] Mwah, Giles! Is it Farrow and Ball or Zopheny, Giles?" [Giles] Can't quite tell chap. The myopia is dulling the sound. Hey, look at my new super duper tartan plus fours. Go with the Pings, eh?" [All] "FORE" [Backslaps and trebles all round] Two and a half hours 'responsible' drinking, while passing four to five hundred pounds over the bar between sixteen? This equates to £28.13ish a head, in a pub that didn't do food? That would be around ten pints each then. I assume you all managed to waddle in to a taxi afterward for a safe homeward journey? While the above may be tongue-in -cheek, and your service has not have been up to scratch; your rather I'm a professional, and a golfer too attitude does you no favours and your review even less. Take a pub for a pub; if you need smarming points while jangling the keys to your Audi, do us all a favour and stick to the 19th, eh? Biro - 26 Jan 2010 02:04 |
| Despite prior notification and arrangement that 16 Professional men, on a Golf Society meeting, would be turning up for 2 and a half hours responsible drinking, the rudeness and ignorance of the landlady had to be experienced to be believed! This woman is clearly only interested in her "regulars." Early arrivers at the pub were met with a shout through the window "we open at 6." One of our party who was driving was the first to arrive in the car park - the landlady required him to move as he was in a spot where her "regulars" parked. She tried to shoehorn the party into a small room off the main area which was clearly inadequate and then insisted that the party squeeze up in the main bar area so the "regulars" could move freely. A extremely poor pint of lager (the rest of us being on proper ale) was met with the response that she wasn't used to pulling lager as her "regulars" all drank real ale. I could go on. Her attitude was such that we all left after 1/2pints instead of spending what we hoped would be a pleasant evening, and putting something like £400-500 across her bar. Avoid this place like the plague unless you wish to be insulted, treated like dirt and are prepared to respond to her every bark. So much for a service industry!! whiteryano - 5 Oct 2009 17:37 |
