| Oh dear, what have they done. Very tightly packed in the garden. The staff had trouble finding tables that have ordered food prior to adding double the amount. I ordered a nice pint of flat cider and was charged 60p more for the priviledge. The front and back have absolutely no atmosphere what so ever. Was the only pub where i enjoyed sitting in the garden. Don't like this place anymore. Practically sitting on each others laps. mario_2 - 3 May 2011 13:51 |
| Closed down for 10 days recently as new owners were taking over. No idea what took them so long. The only visible change I could see was that they have foolishly and rather greedily crammed double the amount of wooden benches into the beer garden out the back. Stick in some push chairs / kids / dogs etc and you won't be able to move out there. The drinks selection is the exact same as before. Although sadly they've followed the expsensive drinks trend in this area and the Stowford Press Cider has taken a MASSIVE jump from £3.30 a pint, to £3.90. For that reason alone, I WILL NOT BE BACK!!

| London Pride the one and only ale on offer. Great beer garden and less kids than The Herne. Pat_Bateman - 28 Mar 2011 10:26 |
| Bloodmoose, I was also there last night and totally agree with your comments. I felt a tiny bit sorry for the staff, as the place was packed. But still, it was a mixture of chaos and farce. Why they attempt to provide table service with only 3 or 4 staff memebers working is beyond me. I stood at the bar for 15 minutes to get my first pint. It didn't help matters that the rude, obnoxious, posh, 20 somethings, kept jumping the queue to order their Veggie Burgers and Shandies with their Credit Cards ... with which they predictably wanted to start a tab with. I thought I'd cracked it on my second visit to the bar. Only me, 1 other customer and 1 barmaid. Sadly the barmaid took around 7 minutes to sort out the other customer's bill. When she eventually finished, she proceeded to serve 2 guys who had just walked up to the bar 30 seconds previously. Luckily they had the sense (that she was evidentally lacking) and suggested (quite politely) that I was before them. When I asked her if she hadn't seen me patiently waiting all that time, she informed me, that she couldn't keep an eye on serving and watching the customers at the same time. What a pathetic excuse. I sang this pubs praises over The Herne and The Clockhouse (price wise). But, I won't tolerate many more visits like last nights. Pat_Bateman - 3 Jun 2010 13:44 |
| I love this pub and used to come in all the time before I moved and I went back last night for the first time in ages ... and it will be while before I think about trying it again. The pub remains much the same, good beer, nice food, lovely beer garden, but dear God they need to sort the customer service out. Customers were standing 3 or 4 deep at the bar being served by a guy on his first night while the 3 experienced staff wandered around the garden collecting glasses and looking for tips by doing table service. Even when they were doing that they were slow and frequently wrong with the order. It's a lovely place, but my whole group agreed that we wouldn't be coming back unless something changes.
