The Strawbury Duck, Entwistle

After three more visits...I refer to my previous review from Nov 2010, whilst the food is lovely (I rate it at the best pub food in this area) and the real ale is excellent too, I'm afraid the service still continues to let the pub down. On two of the occasions when the pub was relatively quiet the food took an excessive amount of time to arrive (Note: I'm quite prepared to wait for freshly cooked food) and specific requests were not followed.
There seems to be a lack of communication between the young serving staff and the kitchen. I'm sure if the management read this they can review and sort it out, as it's a shame when the food quality is excellent.

The White Horse, Pulverbatch

Apologies for the late review. My wife and I visited numerous times in 2008 while staying on holiday for one week. The beer was excellent, locals, landlady and staff friendly and the food excellent (beyond my expectation). We were very impressed, hope the White Horse has managed to keep up the good work!
