Closed and now being converted into a private dwelling. paul_d102 - 3 Apr 2017 13:49 |
After another period of closure, it reopened just before Christmas as "The Rustic Kitchen" with the improvements I identified as being necessary in early 2013 having now been carried out. We visited on 23rd December but the Purity wasn't quite ready to serve so had to settle for a Peroni. Handmade pizza and tapas were superb. Not sure whether this is going to be a pub that serves food, a restaurant that serves beer or a mixture of both - at present, like any new business, they just want custom! paul_d102 - 2 Jan 2015 13:34 |
And re-opened again last month under new management. paul_d102 - 14 May 2014 15:30 |
Closed down again this week. paul_d102 - 8 Jan 2014 12:05 |
Recent efforts to improve this pub have clearly been made as there are some new curtains, leather sofas, Shakespeare-themed wall prints, new bar taps and pub sign. There are also 2 period open fires, some black-painted old ceiling beams and a nice herringbone brick bar. However, most tables and chairs are cheap worn pine, there is still a dodgy carpet in the front dining room and part of the entrance hall and the ceramic floor tiles look a little out of place. Let's hope these are next on the improvements list. The menu is competitively (if not cheaply) priced with 2 main courses of usual pub fayre for £10.99 after 6pm and desserts no more than £3.90. A nice pint of Old Hooky was £3.20 (but no other handpull) and Tetley's Extra Cold was on keg. Open from 9am for breakfast (11am on Sundays) which might be useful to some. Overall, not bad at all but not quite up to the standard of the nearby Snitterfield Arms (but then not as expensive). The service was efficient and friendly and they are clearly having a good go at making this place work so I wish them the very best. paul_d102 - 5 Jan 2013 20:13 |
