| Sadly both the Exeter Avocet (£5.20) and the TT Landlord were almost undrinkable last Saturday night although I didn't return either of them as the owner of our holiday cottage was sitting outside and I didn't want to embarrass him. I didn't dare try the Courage Directors - there were only about 20 people in and surely 1 handpull would be better rather than 3? Fish and chips was decent enough even if it was pollock rather than cod. The chap behind the bar worked his socks off and would have benefitted from some assistance from the landlady who was just walking around with a large glass of wine in her hand. Nice-looking building in a scenic part of the world but not one to return to. paul_d102 - 30 Jul 2026 13:35 |
| It`s the one hit comments that put regular users of this site off a pub,if the people got out and commented on other places their view would hold more weight. Noted trucker39 (only use this place then) And a big Hip hip for Rich. Nuffsaid - 25 Sep 2012 13:28 |
| Well having been a client of the smithy for more years than I care to remember I have to say it is as good now as it ever has been , excellent food ,great beer , and a hugely warm welcome to all comers, And Mr Pissflap I personally know Stepheny and he is definitely not Rich, we can see your mentality from your alias, and personally I reckon if this person could read they they would have noticed any over charge before paying. maybe his guide dog drank the cider and could not read the receipt. Jen and Rich have put a huge effort into getting the smithy where it is now, that has included rich appearing in the bar at 10.00 pm covered in dust and paint to grab a cider when doing his DIY conversion for the restaraunt. I would recommend this pub to anyone, and believe me if it was no good I would let everyone know as well trucker39 - 23 Sep 2012 16:56 |
| piss flap and nuffsaid why not go down to the west country and see it for yourself. Iv'e checked all your comments,and your in my neck of the woods (not far from Guildford ). Keep your trumpets out of it. Iwas down here last week for a couple of pints and a bite to eat. Bar man very polite and chatty. Bit of a time warp, but enjoyable. Need to do something about the flies though! 7.5/10. roselily - 22 Sep 2012 20:56 |
