| A good sized pub in the centre of the village, it consists of a couple of rooms and appears to be a local’s pub that does food rather than a destination dining venue as is the case with so many country pubs these days. Bar staff were friendly and many of the punters seemed to be well known. The main room to the left is quite long and divided in to two halves. The front half has the bar counter on one side and a very large stone fire-place on the other that housed a wood burning stove and the usual assortment of copper pots and pans. The flooring was attractive tiles that looked a little like flagstones. Seating was a little limited with a mixture of small, circular tables in front of the fire, a large table and chairs in the bay window and a few bar stools. To the rear was an area perhaps intended a little more for dining, with conventional tables and chairs and a wood laminate floor. Doors at the back led out on to a patio area with some wooden decking. A smaller room was off to the right which looked broadly similar decor wise, although there were a few more beams on the ceiling as well as a TV and a darts board. The menu was fairly succinct and offered a few “pub grub” options such as breaded chicken or fish & chips, mostly priced somewhere around the £10 mark. On Tuesdays, which was when I visited, they also run a pie night where several pies are available and can be combined with a pint for £9.95. My Chicken & Ham pie was a generous portion with plenty of filling, but the pastry was very hard and the chips were overcooked. Overall it wasn’t bad for the price, but not somewhere where I’d make a special effort to return and try something else. Beers on tap were Courage Directors, Young’s Special and Eagle IPA. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately. Blackthorn - 11 Jun 2013 22:00 |
