The Running Horses, Mickleham

Contacted by the owner with an apology and an offer to stay for free with dinner thrown in.

We'll pass. Best of luck for the future James, and I hope you can tame your bar manager.

(Kev, Pat, Vic....I want you to know that I love each of you deeply. You are wonderful people and I hope your children inherit your considerable charm. Oh, wait, what children?)

The Running Horses, Mickleham

This is a nasty place and I would encourage you to drive, walk or even if dying, crawl past. We used to be regulars a few years ago, but God knows what has happened to the place. On Sunday about 4pm we were heading home after a busy morning and thought we�d stop for a quick drink and perhaps something to eat. Our son was asleep in the car, and rather than wake him, we left him briefly (Mccann like) while we ordered our drinks.

The place was very quiet; a family coming to the end of their dinner, an older lady with her rotund dog, and a chap with two wet spaniels. Pleasant enough.

Missus went to check on our boy and brought him in, still asleep.

We were then told quite clearly by the lady in charge, that children were not allowed. She added that we could finish our drinks though before leaving. Guess what, that is exactly what we did.

Just think about that. Less than ten people in the place, three dogs, but your sleeping child is not welcome here.

Make your own mind up about the Running Horse in Mickleham. Dogs welcome, children not. Stay away!
