The Gribble Inn, Oving

It's nice to see that people who work in a pub care about the comments left here, so I really hope this comment will be taken on board.

We visited the Gribble Inn yesterday for lunch in the garden with another couple, 2 toddlers and a baby. The food was fine, the beer lovely and the service very attentive, however the garden was covered in dog mess which for people with children running around, is pretty unpleasant.

We did comment on this to staff who apologised and suggested that it was 'other people's dogs', however we did arrive first thing - the shit was there - and there were no dogs to be seen all afternoon! Suffice to say we don't let our children crap in pub gardens and wouldn't expect dog owners to either.

So with both adults and children's shoes covered in shit in the car boot we returned home having had what could have been a lovely afternoon somewhat ruined. To be honest I can't see us going back.
