The Cock, Broom

It seems that GK have not accepted an offer from a local person who was keen to retain the character of the place, and have put in a temporary manager. I wholeheartedly agree with what others have said, this pub needs to be run by someone who appreciates the uniqueness of the place and is interested in decent beer, not just making money. If GK allow this place to be "modernised" or sold for housing it will demonstrate without a doubt what a callous organisation they are.

The Five Horseshoes, Little Berkhamsted

I always say I will NEVER return to this pub, but for some inexplicable reason my grandmother loves it, so I do.... and each time it's worse than I recalled.

The food is truly terrible and any menu that tells me something is going be "delicious" or "succulent" usually suggests it's going to be utter crap.

The range of beers and lagers is pretty unimaginative too (1664, Adnams etc.) One plus, a couple of months ago they had Timothy Taylor's Landlord on tap. Ah, I thought, something good to say at last. When I returned last week, they had "discontinued" it.

Either the people who operate this place don't realise how awful it is, which is sad; or they do and just don't care, which is shameful.
