| This is definitely my type of pub. Old world features, comfortable, cosy, warm & welcoming. Also a decent range of very well kept beers. The landlord & the other locals were also very friendly. Lunch was ordered & served in a little over 10 minutes. Most of us had the excellent slow roasted lamb. One of the big plus marks went to the vegetables. Perfectly cooked. A small thing to mention is that the toilets are out the back of the pub across a small yard. Not a problem to me but might be a consideration for some. I can only assume that the rather poor rating on BITE refers to earlier reviews when a different landlord had the pub. I have said this before, concentrate on the more recent comments to get a true reflection of what the pub has to offer. This is an excellent pub that for me ticks all the boxes. I give it a realistic 9. John.T - 30 Nov 2012 10:11 |
| Had dinner here last week and the service is much improved since the change of ownership. The new landlord is very friendly and chatty and the bar staff were helpful, even bringing us drinks to our tables. The food was excellent - some genuinely 'home made' stuff and the veg was not frozen but real proper veg. They are trying to serve food from local sources as far as possible which is always good. I like the fact that this is a traditional village pub. There is no awful music or sports TV (hooray!). There are usually 4 different real ales on tap and the ones I sampled the other night were in very good shape. If you've been put off this pub by past horror stories I would urge you to give it another try - you might be surprised. kbsc - 8 Feb 2011 15:15 |
| This is a fantastic pub. The new landlord and his team are very friendly, the food is excellent and good value for money, the beer very well kept (a fine range of local brews), plus in winter the two real fires are lit, one of which is in a 17th hearth in the central 'snug' area. The Crook is welcoming to locals and visitors alike. patakas - 9 Jan 2011 21:47 |
| I love this pub, its a very warm welcome in a sleepy village. The food is excellent since new ownership, homemade fresh dishes and I can really recommend the sunday roast. Good ales and atmosphere. We often visit this pub for lunch, when passing through. JH386 - 2 Dec 2010 12:25 |
| The Crook & Shears is under new ownership. There is a new chef and roasts are now served every Sunday from 12-4pm. miora71 - 4 Oct 2010 16:23 |
