| I agree with Derrick, totally, about this pub. Reading between the lines of Oneteam's 2nd paragraph I think that they may have their own, personal, 'issues'. The Carvery, as well as roasts, had pies, casseroles, & extras - including curries on a Friday night I was told. There's also a full menu. We started our meal with very full plates & finished with very empty ones. The place is friendly, the staff were helpful, &, always a good sign - the toilets were clean. After a very pleasant evening ( I like their 'TAB' system ) I asked about the, now absent, flag. Apparently it was only flown while England were still in the World Cup, & while it was still flying it also indicated to the regulars that the staff were giving their tips to Sportaid! I don't think the landlord has any aspirations for a Michelin star, but what they do - serving NON-PRETENTIOUS, good food, in nice surroundings - they do well. I like this pub, & will return, try it yourself. David_Errington - 14 Jul 2010 16:04 |
| On the recommendation of 'oneteam' I visited this pub to see the gigantic flag draped across the whole of the building. I was very disappointed to discover that it was only about 4ft by 8ft. The meal that my wife & I had was, however, most enjoyable. The topside of beef was, to my taste, perfectly cooked in that it was just pink in the middle. My wife had the roast pork & declared it 'excellent'. The decor is a lot better than many other places I've dined in (including some restraunts). The beer, again to my taste, was well kept & to the right temperature. Who am I to disagree with CAMRA (their Good Beer Guides for the last 3 years are on the bar) derricksnape - 13 Jun 2010 14:19 |
| The website makes this look an inviting destination. Sadly, there are issues. The large flag of St. George draped over the entire front of the building should have been a clue. This is not high end country dining but middle ground pub food; hearty but not of a notable quality. On the plus side, The barman was very friendly but the Chef clearly went to the same charm school as Basil Fawlty. If I had not been with elderly diners I would have reacted to his obnoxious behaviour by speaking with the landlord. In the intersts of calm I let it go. I wish I hadn't now. This place has potential but it needs to raise its standards above the merely ordinary. As to the beer, the Bank's was flavoursome but too chilled. I think some would like this type of place; if you like your country pubs a little rough around the edges. For those who favour quality and service, look elsewhere. Oneteam - 1 Jun 2010 09:48 |
| Went to a race night at the Old Reindeer last night we had a great time and they raised �360 for terminally ill children in the process. margotdup - 24 Oct 2009 13:43 |
