The Old Barn, Wraxall

This pub has been vastly improved by the new landlords. They have created a fantastic outside seating area also. Much as it has been my local of choice for 10 years, recently the prices, in particular the wine prices, have been hiked up beyond reason. I recently bought a bottle of red wine, decent wine admittedly, and it came in at �18.00. A few months back the same wine was �14.00. These are not pub prices anymore and even the bar staff have admitted that they are fed up of people complaining about the bar prices. And apparently there are more rises to come. Also, it is now full of older teenagers, nursing one pint all night, taking up valuable seating space and not paying their way. A lot of the locals seems to have gone and it has been mentioned by a few that there seems to be an edge to the place now, whereas it has always been warm and wecolming. It is such a shame that this is happening. It is a fabulous pub, much improved by the lady owners but its success is also starting to become its downfall. Shame.
