| As from 30th May 2011, under new ownership. Now a Country Feast Village Inn & Restaurant. Fully refurbished, serving great food and 3 real ales. Fab beer garden and large car park. Families welcome. publove - 6 Jun 2011 14:02 |
| The first impression when walking in to this pub is that you�re in the �public bar�. I generally tend towards the lounge bar, but this was not in evidence. There was an adjacent room that may well have been a lounge bar, or more of a restaurant area, but this was clearly not in use on our visit as it was all in darkness. From what little I could glimpse it had exposed stone walls and may well have had more character than the bar that was in use. It�s a large and fairly featureless space with lots of small round tables scattered around. The d�cor is good condition and looks as though it may well have been recently refurbished with new carpet covering the bulk of the floor and a few tiles around the bar area. There were lots of public bar accruements such as a plasma and dart board on the wall, a pool table, quiz and fruit machines, a juke box and even a couple of sets of disco lights up on the wall. There was a large fireplace with a wood burning stove in it, but unfortunately this was not is use on our visit, even though it had started to snow outside. There was also a leather sofa in one corner, but this looked a little out of place in a decidedly un-cosy room. There were a couple of posters advertising live bands which are presumably a regular feature. Rather oddly, around 50% of the drinks seemed to be off. Two of the three hand pumps had their clips turned round, at least three of the other taps had �out of stock� notices on them, and I was informed that the Blackthorn had sold out when I tried to order that, even though that didn�t have a notice on it. This would be bad enough on a Sunday or a Monday, but at 6:00pm on a Friday evening? The landlady seemed friendly enough, but wasn�t forthcoming when I mentioned this. The solitary beer that was (apparently) in stock was Butcombe, and the ciders were an out of stock Blackthorn as mentioned, plus Thatcher�s Gold. Blackthorn - 28 Nov 2010 13:41 |
| Well, the previous incumbents had it all wrong. I know because I saw it. I sincerely hope that the new folks will do/know better, and return it to a proper pub. I look forward to my next flat tyre. The_Final_Arbiter - 3 Oct 2009 23:35 |
| Large car park with CCTV, no local ales but otherwise covers the basics well with a pool table, quiz machine and an aracde shooting thing. Good solid food and snacks coupled with regular live music. Falken - 23 Nov 2004 12:08 |
