The Tontine Inn, Melverley

Just visited The Tontine Inn for the first time in 20 years. It has very recently re-opened after being closed for about 2 years. They've obviously spent a lot of money doing it up. It's very stylish (neither a good nor bad thing) - perhaps a little to winebar-ish for my taste. The bar area was a bit cramped but plenty of room in the next room and several large, comfy leather sofas. Staff and regulars were very welcoming and chatty. They had Three Tuns XXX but it was a tad cold. Would certainly go back.
