The Upton Inn, Upton Cheyney

Since the Upton Inn changed hands a couple of years ago I have been a regular client, the 6 mile trip being worthwhile for the friendly welcome ( the staff are trained),the food is excellent, paricularly the 'senior' portions which represent good value, and decent Ale; try the Badger !
The Inn have frequent special events, quiz evenings,parties which ,although I am a 'lunchtime chap' I gather are well supported. The number of lunchtime customers at this rather off the beaten track Pub indicates how successful it is being run. The Car Park is large and for those arriving on 4 legs there are facilities to tether horses.
An adverse report made a year ago is completely at odds with the experience of myself & other cusomers. Was it a deliberate 'spoiler'?
