Hinds Head, Kingston Bagpuize

This pub has very recently been taken over by a couple who have some great ideas for getting the trade back up and running after a considerable time under other managers and closure.
It's going to take a while to get back up on it's feet, but they will get there.

The frontage is looking much improved with the new planted window boxes in full bloom. Yes, the place does look shut, but it's not! From chatting with the landlady, there is a problem with opening up the front door - the previous encubants removed the bar from the bar room! She has no where to serve from in there.
The lounge bar and gardens, however are open.

The food is good and well priced. Steak night on Wednesdays and varous themed food evenings have been met with great enthusiasm by the locals.
The beer is well kept & the bar staff really friendly.

I wish the new landlady every success.
