The Jolly Tanners, Staplefield

Although I live a few miles away the Jolly Tanners is my local and I visit 2-3 times per week. I make an effort to come here because the pub has a great landlord who knows what is important in running a pub. He has available 4-6 real ales, mostly from local micros, that are kept in good condition as well as a couple of real ciders. Food is home-cooked, good and reasonably priced- if you want restaurant quality go to a restaurant. The landlord has created a warm, welcoming, dog-friendly country pub that offers something for most people who enjoy family run pubs. Does that make me sound like a member of "the landlords fanclub"? Too bloody right I am.
