Dire. A shadow of it's former self.

The Old Oak, Arlesey

The Old Oak is a cosy, friendly little pub situated a short walk from Arlesey station. Paul and Annette took over the pub late last year and they have really turned the place around. The pub has recently been decorated inside and there is a lovely garden at the back of the pub � perfect for those summertime tipples!

Greene King IPA, a good selection of lagers and some very nice wines, are available at reasonable prices. Highly recommended for couples and families alike!

The Fox and Duck, Stotfold

My husband and I popped in to the Fox & Duck last night for the first time since its re-opening. What used to be a busy, friendly pub with lovely food, has now turned into a bland �pseudo wine bar/restaurant�.

We sat at the bar and watched in amazement as several very unhappy people walked out of the restaurant, including one couple who were complaining about their meal, and refusing to pay for it as it was so bad. Another couple approached the bar for food only to be told by the barmaid that the manager had just closed the kitchen � at 8.30pm!

There has obviously been money spent on repainting the pub and making it look nice, but something was definitely lacking � atmosphere and friendly bar staff!

However the pub has only been open for 6 days so they could just be experiencing teething problems. The next few months are going to be very interesting�
