| Visited a week ago and won't be going back. We arrived for a late lunch and took ages to process the orders. We were told that the fish on the fish sandwich was breaded but when it came it was battered and very greasy... we couldn't eat it all. My friend ordered a brownie for dessert but after waiting a while I asked at the bar - the kitchen hadn't got the order so we left. It was all very disorganised and I hate to think how they would cope with a rush... it all seemed very grubby, especially en route to the toilets. Such a shame to have a third rate dive in such a lovely village... they must rely on passing trade as they clearly don't care about developing regular custom. achillea - 20 Apr 2012 17:19 |
| On the few occasions i have been here the bitter has been in poor condition, This and a general air of shabbiness and disinterest means i won't be returning for the foreseeable future kisstaker - 26 Sep 2010 20:04 |
| We have been eating here probably once a quarter for a year or two. Food reasonable, beer good, atmosphere in the pub excellent, but less so in the restaurant part (too mock- 'trad' country pub). The themed food evenings are a good idea and they do good decs at Christmas and Halloween. However the carpets are grim and the gents diabolical. It shouldn't be too expensive to fix these.......

| absoluted dive . one wonders why they would let this pub run down so much. you walk in the door to be greated by a carpet that literally sticks to the soles of your feet, as for the loos , must i go on.? bcm - 3 Sep 2010 13:25 |
| Visited for first time in almost a year last week. Place is still looking a little run down, but somehow it seems to have improved. The beer selection is okay, but it was the food offers on weeknights that caught my eye. The steak night seemed excellent value and for a 16 oz steak with scampi it was just £13.95. The other nights looked great value and I will happily visit again in the summer as so much cheaper than it's sister pub at Bough Beech which never seems to change it's menu and is a little over priced. meland - 1 Jun 2010 12:48 |
