| Lovely pub. Good food and good ales on too, mixture of local and "national". Car park. Real fire. Plenty of room inside for diners and drinkers. What a ridiculous "review" by Corkypunt - you don't turn up to a country pub just before 11pm and expect it to be open, let alone served. dpaajones - 24 Dec 2013 13:29 |
| I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE LANDLORD WAS NOT THERE AT THE TIME. HE WOULD BE DEVASTATED. WE HAVE BEEN VISITING THIS PUB FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE STAFF AND LOCALS MAKE US AND ALL CUSTOMERS WELCOME AT ALL HOURS WHEN WE VISIT OUR CARAVAN ACROSS THE ROAD. THE FOOD IS WONDERFUL AND THE PLACE IS A CHARMING AND TRADITIONAL PUB IT IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST PLACE AROUND, SO PLEASE DO NOT TAKE TOO MUCH NOTICE OF CORKYPUNT. blondeme - 20 Apr 2012 12:05 |
| I'd like to tell you about what fantastic beer and service we had last night here. But I can't. We drove into the car park at 10:55pm, with the pub front and side doors open. By the time we got to those doors, those inside had locked them shut. The lights were on, the curtains open, and a few sniggering regulars sat at the bar still drinking. Despite trying to attract the attention of the bar staff, no one could be bothered to even come out and tell us the place had stopped serving. If this was down to staff, the landlord needs to sort it out. If it was down to the landlord, they should be ashamed. And the sniggering regulars? remember what goes around comes around, one stormy dark night in years to come you may find yourselves locked out of the pub, although perhaps not this one as turning away trade like that in these hard times is not exactly clever. So if you want to be treated with contempt, get yourself down to the Old Hand and Diamond, it is the first pub in Wales, but it keeps no welcome in the hillsides. Of course, if you would rather spend your time at a proper pub, get round to the Tontine at Melverley, The Royal Hill at Edgerley or the Windmill on the main A458 and they will be pleased to serve you-there is such a thing as competition.....
