The Gribble Inn, Oving

Good morning to one and all.
Well, it seems that this pub has split the opinion of people who do and don't use it. All I can do is to report on my experience when we visited for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago.
Upon reaching the bar, we were greeted by a friendly (and my wife still talks about, handsome!) barman who helpfully guided us through the range of on site brewed ales ... offering us free tasters too!! We were even introduced to the brewer, so a big thumbs up to him.
Our Sunday roast dinners were lovely, with fantastic cauliflower cheese and crackling topping off the dish. Although I couldn't manage a dessert, the ladies in my party certainly polished off theirs! A very helpful and efficient waitress too, and between her and the barman we received great all-round service.
All in all, our experience of this pub was very good. It is a shame that others have not had the same, but we will definately be going back.
