The Yew Tree, Lower Wield

I wasn't sure I was writing this review against the correct pub given "Meurglys" rather empassioned critique below but yes, the mention of the "Tim's Pub" sign on the door assures me I am speaking of the same establishment. I am delighted to assure any readers of this note that the Yew Tree certainly deserves the accolades kindly granted by the Good Pub Guide and its discerning readers - I am a repeat (and very regular) visitor to the Yew Tree and will continue to be unless forced to leave the South of England for any reason! The homemade food is varied and always well presented - if one has particular requirements the chef/landlord goes to great lengths to accomodate (better to give him some notice though). Personally I would far rather wait 45 mins for a properly cooked meal rather than 5 minutes for a microwaved pre-packed dish - but "horses for courses" as they say. With good company 45 mins fly by before you know it! Yes the pub does get very busy (hooray for those of us that would like it to remain open) but the staff are always incredibly helpful and do their best to keep everyone fed and watered in a timely fashion. Keep up the good work Yew Tree!
