| One of those Cotswold pubs where the locals reminisce loudly about ballooning in Bhutan and walking in the high Andes. The service was best described as efficient rather than friendly and my pint of Burning Sky Plateau direct from the pin was no more than workmanlike. paul_d102 - 23 Aug 2020 19:06 |
| Its well past time this pub had an update. Revamped and updated it is popular with locals and busy on a sunday lunchtime with food but no problem in serving us bowls of soup. Only 2 beers on one of which was on gravity XT2. Bar server is in a bit of a corridor but generally pub has been sympathetically modernised and is worth a visit Rocky53 - 27 Oct 2015 17:26 |
| Florrie I don't "begrudge" good food of any cuisine, and I'm happy to pay for it, but at the same time I'm discerning about it, especially when I'm being charged those sorts of prices. It was pretty good overall but overly rich with cream, and no sort of balance to the main dish. Maybe the chef has layed off the stuff a bit recently which would be good news. If it's a consolation I thought the starter was highly imaginative and first rate. The point is that what was there before was a great authentic pub with very good traditional home-cooked food at sensible prices. In it's transformation they seem to have lost some of that character. But yes it remains a great pub and I wish them well too. OldRogue - 2 Oct 2007 13:50 |
| Isn't that typical? At last a pub serves really good food, and the British are grudging! We'd far rather have Cajun Chicken and Thai Curry. Yes, the chef uses cream - why not? We're not eating this stuff every day. Went on Saturday and had perfectly cooked bream and my partner had the most delicious oysters I've tasted in years. There was no cream in the vegetables, but there was great variety and they were delicious. The beer is well kept too. I know that some people (and I do sympathise) regret that many pubs have become quasi-restaurants, but if they do go this way, they might as well be good restaurants - and this one is. I've paid more money for much worse meals. I wish them luck. Florrie - 18 Sep 2007 11:08 |
| Cotswold lager was lovely, a nice change if you fancy a lager on a hot day. Have to agree with Marylou on the refurb tho, while very nice, the prices were steep. The cheff seems to have a cream adiction too as everything came in a rich cream sauce, even the veg! Having said this it remains a great bet if you're in the area, second perhaps only to the Black Horse at Naunton. OldRogue - 29 Aug 2007 13:43 |
