| I've no recollection of what it looked like when I last visited 13 years ago but the décor is now teal and cream and the pub is obviously aimed at diners (the landlady was offish when we asked for drinks only yesterday afternoon). Handpulls were Butty Bach and Spitfire (which was average to good). Nothing here to rush back for. paul_d102 - 1 Dec 2025 10:33 |
| Now the Yew Tree and under new tenants from Dec 2018 - along with a fancy new website. Popped in for a mid walk drink and was greeted enthusiastically by the staff. Four real ales on - two from Sheffields Bradfield Brewery (strange, as we're a long way from there). I was warned that they would be cloudy as "something had been done in the cellar". Samples offered and the beer was fine. Lovely location and I wish them every success. Mappiman - 28 Dec 2018 17:06 |
| I reviewed this pub in 2012 but my comments seem to have been deleted. I remarked at the time how the licensee had had to stop a local making off with a cardboard cutout of the Queen - obviously during Diamond Jubilee Year this was too scandalous a happening to report on this website. What hasn't been deleted is my score which was a 6. That hasn't proved high enough to make me revisit and there is every chance that I will never be able to do so - the pub reopened after a 15 month closure in February this year but the new owners are already looking to turn the pub into a private dwelling. paul_d102 - 14 Sep 2016 20:33 |
| Looked very pleasant from the outside, but the Landlord as telling me that he found it virtually impossible to do anything to improve the food and beer, as he was stuck with Enterprise who clearly want to run it into the ground. A shame really. As a consequence, the village does not seem to want to support it. bitterboy1970 - 24 Jun 2014 16:11 |
| I am new to the area and am enjoying trying out local pubs, although I can say that I enjoyed this one. The Hooky tried was cloudy and off and when I spoke to the barman ( I think possibly the landlord ?) he actually tried to tell me it was how it should be. I did not bother with any food after this as just wanted to leave. It was a shame as it looks a nice village pub from the outside. Jamie james67 - 29 Oct 2010 19:35 |
