The Moletrap, Tawney Common

IN REPLY TO Glade100
Having been a regular at this pub for some ten years now I am shocked at your opinion of the Mole Trap! It has always been a friendly place to go and has always been well maintained. You would not have recieved a frosty welcome at the mole trap unless you behaved in an unacceptable manner. As far as I and anyone else who knows the mole trap are concerned you are entitled to your opinion but try and make it without the blinkers on. The mole trap is a typical English country pub with exposed low beams set in beautiful countryside away from the hustle and bustle of nearby london with excellent food and a wonderful selection of real ales and guest beers always available. Combined with the friendly staff and wonderfull setting its a must for all of those people who enjoy a pub with typical english traditions instead of your common sterile wine bar or sports bar with little to offer in the way of atmosphere. Its a shame you did not stay to try the food as it is always exceptional. For a pub so far off the beaten track it is common to arrive to not be able to get a table due to the ammount of people already there, this would not be the case if it was anything like you desribed. Maybe the traditional english pub is not for you nor the generous hospitality of the staff, Its always a shame when people make a jugement based on little more than a glimse, maybe you should give it another try and try not to compare it to your local whitbread with a dart board and pool tables.
