| Pub suddenly closed in about June 2011 but reopened under new management in August 2011. Many changes of management over the last few years have badly damaged the reputation of this otherwise decent eatery/pub/hotel. Anyway, the latest management seem of good quality and serve food/real ales of decent quality on the basis of one visit! Let's wait and see how it goes and let's see if the new people can make a better go of it than the last half dozen!!!!! wppclarke - 6 Sep 2011 02:06 |
| Disappointing. Whilst the cask marque is proudly displayed only Black Sheep available. Didn't try the lunch menu after a very average pint. Extensive restaurant, virtually empty with no atmosphere. The whole place seemed a bit run down. catador - 7 Aug 2008 18:41 |
| A bit of history: This used to be a genuine oldfashioned village local, selling a nice pint of 'real' Bass. Later (25 years ago) a Tetley Wayfarer pub with lots of things for the children to play on (our favourite venue when the kids were young, as it had a bouncy castle)and good beer as well - that's in the happy days when Tetleys was a decent drop! Food was gradually introduced and it became more and more a dining pub. Then, in the mid-1990s, the children's play area was done away with in favour of an accommodation extension - but the food and beer (a wider range) were still good and reasonably priced. Then it changed hands and went up-market price-wise, but the food simultaneously nose-dived and became poor (following departure of Audrey, the excellent cook - who's gone on to higher things). The place clearly flopped and has changed hands again a couple of times, I think, in recent years. Luckily, at the moment, it seems OK - reasonably priced food (they've brought the Club Menu back), but the handpulled beers (decent small range) a little pricey (not an uncommon problem). So, if you are in the area it's worth a try - especially if you are hungry, as the food really is quite nice!! wppclarke - 30 Jul 2008 01:02 |
