The Victoria and Albert, Netherhampton

After reading a few of the somewhat negative reviews for this pub, my lady, her daughter and I decided to visit anyway as it's the nearest country pub to the house. We were greeted with a warm welcome to a bustly bar on which 3 ales were available and a local cider. The 2 ales we chose (Cottage Tornado and Chimera Dark Delight from Downton) were in excellent condition and not overpriced. The signs regarding children's behaviour however were much more tongue in cheek than totalitarian! A bit of good humour accompanied with good ale and a nice beer garden combined for a brief but pleasant evening. We both look forward to visiting this pub again in the near future, minus the little one next time (for one or two more pints of course). Cheers!
