The Old Thatch, Stapehill

Really nice pub! I've lived in the area for years, and the new owners have made such a positive impact on the Thatch. It's not the same place it used to be - customers are happy, the staff are happy - though this is probably all down to the new landlord's dog - Milo! My heart melts every time I see him!

Well worth a visit, the food is great, the service is brilliant, and Milo is the most loveable thing on earth!

The Old Thatch, Stapehill

I went there last week with my wife and had a really enjoyable evening. We were only passing through and just spotted the Old Thatch by chance, but now that we know it's there we will definitely be going back. It's a beautiful building on the outside, and really warm & comfortable inside.

We had only intended to stay for a drink and then be off again, but the staff were so welcoming and friendly, time just seemed to fly by. We actually ended up staying for dinner, which turned out to be one of the best pub dinners we've ever had, and great value for money. I especially recommend the seafood pie!

After dinner, we met the landlords (Mark & Helen), who explained they've only recently taken over the pub. They introduced us to the main attraction of the pub - MILO! He is their 1 yr old Bearded Collie, and is absolutely amazing! He has his hair up with a hair band, as it's so long, he cant see without it, and just bumps into doors & walls! Never seen anything like it - very cute indeed!! We are huge dog lovers and have two Labrador's of our own, and will definitely be bringing them down to meet Milo!
