The Trout and Tipple, Tavistock

My first visit to this CAMRA awarded pub since its change of ownership, what a disappointment.
From the outside the pub looked closed, on the inside it was open but cold and lacking in customers. Having made the effort we decided to stay wrapped up and try both the food and beer. The menu has changed and although basic and limited was good and inexpensive, but the beers on offer was limited to 2 and both the same local brewery (previous visit 4 real ales) and a good choice. A lack of choice, atmosphere and staff at times would sum up the experience.
From previous visits and comments I know the previous owners were not everyone's choice, but they knew their real ales and customers were there to sample them.
We noticed some advertised themed food nights i.e. curry etc, perhaps a look at the beer options is needed.
