The Magna Charta, Lowdham

Has supposedly been re furbished, to the standard trim of 1000 other establishments, Beer is average, despite hardly any customers on the evening we visited , was told by the Manager that we would have to wait over an hour to eat, as 'we only have one cook on duty and a kitchen assistant ( bottlewasher obviously)' .
The manager here is one of the most ignorant I have encountered.
Re. a previous post here.... Yes, Tommy Lawton was once the landlord here, in the early 1960s I believe.

The Unicorn Hotel, Gunthorpe

A great setting for a pub/hotel, idylic on a summers evening watching the river go by, bedrooms are nice but overpriced, the cooked breakfast was almost inedible... as the other scribe states the beer is indeed terrible, the waiting service on the food side is average, the food overpriced and mediocre, the manageress is about as cheerful as a pitbull with a thorn in its paw ! the barstaff are not welcoming whatsoever. Overall poor.
