A true public house

I have become a Sunday regular after a few recent visits. Amazing beer, friendly staff and a real community feel; often striking up a conversations with like-minded strangers in this pub that’s just off the beaten track.

Surprised

Having prepared ourselves for what was meant to be the tasting of interesting ales with class wasn't happy. Add to that lack of atmosphere and grubby surrounds traveled a long way for nothing. Fortunately, a couple of pubs down the way made up for the...More

Disappointed

Went with 2 friends. Very disappointed. Poor attitude of staff and didn't think much to the beer. Are CAMRA standards slipping?

Drunk members of staff off duty

Wow, congratulations on winning pub of the year twice. But having a member of staff off duty drunk and cursing at every opportunity. Two 'potential' customers turned round and walked out. I hope the alcoholic postman being rude isn't the norm.More
