Great pizza on Wednesday evenings Proper pub with Lovely choice of well looked after ales Probably the best pub in the area

The main aspect of any visit to this pub is the superb quality real ale which makes this pub a regular winner of CAMRA awards and deservedly so. I would happily spend a few hours here and if you don't want to drive the bus...stop is right outside (although an infrequent service, so a little planning is required in advance). Popular with walkers, cyclists and locals alike, the exterior is a little dowdy and the interior likewise, but the staff and associated dog and cat are friendly and welcoming. Food is served and is a worthy accompaniment to the excellent beer. A large collection of pump clips adorn the ceilings of the bar for those with an interest in the large selection of beers that have been served here. A little difficult to get to but well worth the trip.More

Tiny village pub with car park and beer garden at the back . Not very busy on a weekday lunchtime, just a few cyclists and ramblers enjoying the sunshine. Really nice sandwiches, interesting local real ales , superbly unmodernised and unspoilt .

Just popped into this pub to ask for directions, from the road it looks like a typical country pub so I wasn't expecting anything really. However, we stayed for a quick drink and will make a point of coming back whenever we're nearby as this...pub has a) an insanely large selection of obscure beers, b) nice wine, c) friendly landlord, d) a cat, e) Spurs memorabilia and f) a slightly wacky, unpretentious vibe that you can't fake - you can tell this pub has been here for ages and has built up loads of atmosphere. It wasn't expensive either. Apparently they do food too, I look forward to trying it next time.More

This fabulous pub has been my family`s favourite for nearly 3 decades. Superb beer, food, events and ambience.Today though, I was `greeted` by a miserable ,rude `regular` who actually spoilt my day : ( I left without ordering at the bar. i do hope this...is not a bad apple?.......More

I love popping in here whenever I can. The beer selection is fantastic, and the regulars are always entertaining! I haven't eaten here yet, but I'm told the wild food nights are excellent.

Apparently this quaint little pub lays on a special menu once a month. On this occasion they had game on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the canapés and elderflower gin and the bakewell tart for dessert. Service was great, very personable. Will definitely return.

Easy to see why this is a Camra favourite. No frills pub with a decent selection of real ales on tap. As mentioned by other reviewers Wednesday night is Pizza and Pasta night. My starter of melon and parma ham was deliscious and I thoroughly...enjoyed the pasta and salmon. The edge was taken off the evening when the barmaid had her small dog stood on top of the bar being petted by a couple of other diners! Not the sort of thing I would expect to see in a food pub.More

If you want fancy Gastropub with cute phrases stencilled on the artificial beams, this is not the place for you. However, if you would like to experience a real country pub, with great beer, good wine, give 'The Strath' a try. The pasta/pizza on Wednesday...evenings is amazing. Again, nothing artificial or over-ambitious, but truly authentic home cooked Italian food, offering a different choice of three pastas each week, or custom made pizzas, served with complementary salad and garlic bread - and the price isn't fancy either.More

This is a gem of a pub the sort we are loosing all too often these days! If you crave great beer welcoming locals and some banter wit a beer this place is the best. The once a month Wild Food Night with guest chef...The Country Bumpkin is must and as a family we go to most. a fixed menu 4-5 course for just £24 of what ever is in season just fantastic value for food with a difference in a great atmosphere ! On a Wednesday they have a Pizza Pasta night just grey value and Guest Chef Leno has treated us to many a fantastic pasta dish a salad and Garlic bread starter for just £8.50 just can't be bettered!More

We were recommended to go to the Strathmore on a Wednesday night as it is pizza and pasta night. What a fantastic recommendation that was ! I will never be able to go to any of the pizza chains again. The pub is unpretentious ,very...friendly and welcoming. The simple salad with garlic bread which is served as an appetiser is very refreshing and tasty. As for the pizza the base is a perfectly baked thin crust and you have the choice of about 10 different toppings at no extra cost. My husband who is a real ale drinker was impressed by the quality of flavour of the house bitter. It was our first visit but it won't be the last !More
