The Gribble Inn, Oving

As a member of staff from the Gribble Inn I suppose I could be considered biased, yet I cannot pretend that I am not hurt, alongside other staff members by comments made about the place I love to work in.
The Gribble Inn is one of the few traditional pubs left in our local area that still stick to traditional principles such as no mobile phones and a lack of foul language and I think more people should acknowledge how rare and enjoyable that is.
Different pubs suit different people, however the Gribble strives, alongside the staff, to provide a welcoming and enjoyable service to all customers.
From the local farmers to the elderly couple from down the road, even to friends that come back every year from America for a big family do, you are welcome and treated respectfully.
The recent issue with the kitchen, something that was blown out of proportion, is in the past, I won't comment on it because it was to do with our previous chef and previous complaints. Our chef at the moment is both hygienic and knows how to prepare and serve a freshly made meal that would satisfy even the hungriest, fussiest eater.
I guess my main point is to give us a try. Sites like this are useful to decide where to go or what to try next, but that shouldn't result in dismissing a place entirely on not continuing to try something new.
We are, thankfully, one of the few pubs also open every day and all day during the summer. Always advisable to book, especially during summer months as we're a wee bit busy at the moment!!!
Hope to see a few more friendly faces soon!
