The Sandrock Hotel, Shirley

This pub had slowly gone downhill for past 15 years, until the new landlord took it over and got hold of the situation by the scruff of the neck and turned it round.
Some of the not so regular customers complain about the lack of facilities for children, but I would like to point out that this is a Public House and not a Kindergarden. Children would prefer to be in a McDonalds, and it is the selfish attitued of the parents who want to go to a pub, and dont consider the kids.
I would be the last person to complain about noise in a McDonalds, but I dont go there anyway.
The Sandrock is a pleasant place to eat or just have a drink, but may well get spoil by the inconsiderate parents of unruly kids.
