giveusabeer - If I sounded arrogant then that was not the way it was meant - I am the one seeing how many people and drinks we serve a week so feel that I can rightly comment on the number of people we serve.

I didnt say it was 2-3000 individual people but that is roughly the number of people that come through the door on a busy week.

The changes we have made were never going to please everybody but those that do visit us seem to like it. Many many people have told us how nice it is here now compared with the 'old, tired look' of The Three Pigeons.

People that eat/drink here also comment that they would never have visited the old Three Pigeons but do so now because the ambiance/decor/customer base is very different etc etc

Plain and simple, The Farriers is not just a pub like The Three Pigeons was. It offers FRESHLY prepared food in both the bar (fresh seafood/fresh pies amongst others) and the upstairs restaurant however we do still welcome people that just want to come for a drink.

Thanks once again for your comments

Thanks for your views 'Pilgrim' unfortunately your comment regarding the chefs is very innacurate - The Head Chef and Senior Sous Chef have been here since the start therefore the quality of the food and therefore the standard has not changed.

We have had various 'lower level' chefs that have been and gone either because of personal reasons of the fact that they were plain not up to the level required - this happens in higher end restaurants.

Obviosuly you are entitled to your opinion however the other 2000-3000 people that visit us each week ( and those regular customers that return week in week out) may disagree with you!

Some people prefer the chain pubs/restaurants however plenty of people like the privately owned venues that offer FRESH food cooked seven days.

Plain and simple we cant always please everybody

Would just like to say thank-you for all comments so far; after being opened for 3 months its good to hear the positive (and not so also)

The change to a restaurant (well back to how it was 30 years ago) has been well received however unfortunately it is not possible to advertise all 4 menus that we offer in the 2 menu boxes outside - the ones advertised do however state the times and days they are available. A new larger menu box to incorporate all has however been ordered!

As one of the owners, I thought I would actually register and not post anonamously as what is the point in hiding your name if you want to comment on something.

Thank for all the comments, no matter of good or bad. The way I look at it is that if no one ever tells us what we are doing well and what we are doing wrong then we will never know.

Regarding PrettyPurdy or whatever the name is; I do not know who he/she is and could not tell you if he/she works for me.

Regarding the menu, we are currently looking at various changes and more information will be available from our website in due course. I do have to say though that we have never advertised sayign we so casseroles/stews!!

Thanks once again for your comments, as I know Dave and Myles (the other owners) are always keen to hear what people have to say and what we can do to improve!
