Blue Boar, Hay On Wye

Its such a shame when looking through reviews on any particular place one seems to find more negative than positive. It seems to be so easy to annonymously lash out over the Internet and criticise so thoroughly when people have had a bad experience and broadcast a damning judgement to the world. Catering is one of the toughest businesses to be in particularly family run& I personally think they do a fantastic job at the blue boar!!I am a regular visitor of the pub&have never actually known the steaks to be advertised at 10oz only 8?! I do know that the current chef has been in charge only 2 years and is the son of the proprietors who have been in business 26 years & one of the longest standing publicans in hay-on-wye, clearly indicating that they're doing something right. In any restaurant/ pub situations can occur where things don't run smoothly, it's all part of the job, especially when employing young people. If ever I have had a problem at this friendly place the staff have been eager to help. Hay is a busy little town and can be caught off guard by dozens of coaches full of people all wanting to eat at once. It must be very demanding. I have speculated such a situation and the staff were an extremely dynamic team& the atmosphere was a happy one. Food wholesome, beer great! Staff charming, atmosphere lovely.
