The White Lion, Milford

Having not visted this pub for a long time, went in on Saturday night for a meal, the food was excellent value for money and good, service friendly and helpful. The pub area is warm and welcoming, but the restaurant area felt cold and isolated, if you do decide to eat here make sure you book a table in the pub area and not the restaurant. Definately worth a visit.

The Squirrel at Hurtmore, Hurtmore

Well as promised went back to the Squirrel last week, to see if it had improved after my last review. There was four of us that particular evening, and each one of us had heard bad reviews about the food here, but we decided to go with an open mind, hoping that things had settled down and the quality of the food had improved. I can honestly say that the food hasnt, and it is overpriced for what you get, I cant believe you pay �2.50 for a small bowl of chips, (I would guess about 20 chips!!) I dont mind paying over the odds for an excellent meal, but the food here is below average with expensive prices. As I said before what a shame they arent paying a little bit more attention to detail, no one asked us if we were happy with our meal, staff were polite, but not friendly. As everyone knows in this business it doesnt take long to get a bad reputation, and so many local people are saying the same as me, in fact I dont think I have heard one person say anything positive about it - come on Squirrel sort it out, you have loads of loyal ex customers keeping our fingers crossed that you will improve.

The Squirrel at Hurtmore, Hurtmore

Well what a disppointment, went to the Squirrel today, as used to love the old pub, so was keen to give it a try. It has been turned into another bland trendy type pub, gone is the cosy atmosphere of the old pub, and the food was terrible, poor selection, undercooked burger, undercooked chicken dry and tasteless fish cakes. Lets just hope that its teething problems with having only been open a couple of days, so will give it another try and hopefully it will improve.
