What a joke.
It's shut half the time and seems to be suffering from a serious identity crisis. The toilets have got to be the worst I've ever been in. They absolutely stink and looks like they've been "cleaned" by slinging a bucket of piss round the room with a filthy old mop.
Seriously, just making an effort with the brush and mop bucket would make the world of difference.
No real ale, expensive lager and no wine list to speak of. Freshly tarmac'd yard.

Recently visited Wantage for the first time as we were attending a family wedding. Arrived early afternoon after the drive up and needing a bite to eat and a pint struggled to find anywhere still serving food. Ended up in this place and ordered a burger and a pint, but left without finishing either - says it all really! The place seemed to be frequented by some interesting characters, all looking like they'd been let out on day-release from somewhere. A totally uncomfortable and hopefully forgettable experience!

Sick on the doorstep. I didn't go in.

Nice "Old Coaching Inn", ruined by Greene King. No real ale (not even their award winning IPA), plenty of pond life. The only way Greene King can get people through the door is to spend a quarter of a million pounds on a new refurbishment, every two years. They have now decided turn the pub from "managed" to "tenanted". Let's hope the new tenant has as much money as Greene King had to waste.

The antithesis of what a pub should be. No real ales (no, I'm not making this up!), every wall has a big music video screen on it, and the few customers that were in there when I visited had their mouths permanently set on full volume.
If you're considering visiting this establishment get yourself checked out by a psychiatrist pronto.

Typical chav trap. The managers aren't shy when it comes to throwing their customers out - pop in some time for a punch up!
