| Arrived yesterday at 7pm via the train (watch the step down to the platform!) to find an extremely busy pub (although virtually everyone had left by 9pm). Good beer (I tried the Silver Bullet and Piston Bitter) and lovely haddock and chips followed by a wonderful lemon posset. Slight downside was the attitude of the landlady who tried to say that we weren't allowed to move inside to one of 6 empty tables to eat our puddings. paul_d102 - 23 Jul 2013 21:32 |
| I used to think this pub was alright but the landlord is a tosser. I rarely post negative comments about landlords on here as it is unfair, but i will make an exception this time. Such a shame as it is in such a lovely peaceful setting with the trains whizzing past. 10/10 for the pub and area 0/10 for the landlord and most of the stuck up customers that i saw in there montie49 - 18 Dec 2011 13:43 |
| This is more of an open letter to "devon 21", and those of a similar persuasion who think it �cool� to drink straight from a bottle. Gentlemen, and indeed Ladies, please feel free to indulge you baser urges by all means, but do be aware of the very distinct possible repercussions of your actions, and you will understand why the fellow behind the bar said "we don't serve in bottles", should the following happen to you. Initially, you will suffer with flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, myalgias, intense headache). The flu-like illness may resolve without treatment but, in some cases, an immune phase follows with a return of fever, jaundice, red eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, or a rash. In more severe cases, there may be organ failure, e.g. the kidneys, or meningitis. � Approximately 10% of those infected become jaundiced (with hepatocellular necrosis) and have a severe and rapidly progressive form of the disease with liver failure and renal failure. � The jaundice appears during days 5-9 of illness and is most intense 4-5 days later, continuing for about 1 month. � The degree of jaundice itself is not indicative of prognosis but leptospirosis without jaundice is very rarely fatal. � Purpura, petechiae, epistaxis, minor haemoptysis and other signs of bleeding are common. � Other symptoms include fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, skin rashes, conjunctival haemorrhage, and uveitis. There is often a severe headache, retro-orbital pain, and photophobia. A severe myalgia (lower back, and legs) is common. Leptospirosis may present as aseptic meningitis. � Pulmonary symptoms vary from cough, dyspnoea, and haemoptysis to adult respiratory distress syndrome and massive pulmonary haemorrhage. � Hepatomegaly: hepatic percussion tenderness is a useful indicator of continuing disease activity. � Kidney dysfunction (leptospiral nephropathy) is usual, sometimes with life-threatening renal failure with signs of uraemia and disturbance of consciousness. Congratulation if you have any of the above! You have contracted Weil�s Disease! How cool is that? 5thearlofwimbourne - 15 Dec 2011 12:31 |
| Average pub that thinks it's posh, it's not. Nice looking pub from the outside with nice seating, the insides nice dark wooden bar area, but that's sadly where the word nice ends for this place. We had great welcome if you count great is when you walk up to the bar and the bar man looks over then walks off into the restaurant saying nothing, then comes back "no hello" just what can i get you. We ordered couple pint of the home brew and bottle of bud. Told the barman don't worry about a glass his reply "we don't serve in bottles" fare point if i was dining at THE IVY put I'm not, i'm in a run of the mill pub. We looked at the menu very overpriced be leave me i work in the catering industry they must have big profit margins. oval review NICE PUB TO VISIT ONCE PUB YOU DEFIANTLY WOULDN'T MAKE IT A TWICE....! devon_21 - 3 Aug 2011 12:07 |
| Visited on a bank holiday monday a while back. The place was disorganised on arrival,with some people being told last orders for food had been taken and others arrriving afterwards being allowed to order. The landlady was having a shouting match with a poor lady who was being charged for what she hadn't had,this even admitted by the landlady. And very unprofessionally indeed the landlady was trying to canvass "support" for her rudeness from the customers at the bar (us)!!!! When the dust settled the food we had was very good,however I felt the ale was very "new" and not very well conditioned. Those in my company often visit but I wouldn't go to the trouble in a hurry again. an_ecunemical_matter - 26 Jan 2010 22:15 |
