"I visited this pub on Tuesday 23 April 2024 with my brother. I have been happily going to this pub for over 45 years and always enjoyed having drinks there. We arrived at 3:30 and were the only customers in the bar. Very friendly bar maid until about 5pm when there was a change of staff. We were sat very close to the bar, about 5 feet, and when we were close to finishing our Guinness pints we asked the bar maid to pull 2 more pints. My brother said it in a normal voice, he did not have to shout because the bar was so quiet . She replied that she would do it this once but in future she expects us to come up to the bar counter and order our drinks from there. As any Guinness lover knows it takes several minutes to pour a pint of Guinness, so we were simply asking the process to get started before we went up to the bar to pay for it. There was only one other person in the bar so we could not understand the bar maid’s attitude. We were very polite and questioned on this on this, asking her had we offended her in some way. She simply replied that, if she was busy, then she expects us to come to the bar. We pointed out that there were only 3 people in the pub, so why was she making this a big issue ? Her reply was very rude.She clearly had attitude problems. We tried to point out that since covid many pubs had continued to provide a semi waiter service and were happy to take orders from a table and even, on occasion, deliver a drink to a table. Indeed this was the case when I visited the huntsman pub in bath the following day. This woman is not suited to be a bar maid or indeed be employed in the hospitality industry. Sadly, we will not be returning to this pub."

Pub with a great traditional atmosphere. Great selection of pub food. Enjoyed 'Pie Week '. It sells beer and not only lager.

Hugely disappointing. We visited a while back for a drink and found the pub really cosy, so when passing today we decided to stop for lunch. Sadly, my meal was quite inedible with stringy, gristly meat and my partners meal was very underwhelming, a basic veggie burger with a few frozen chips. We both had soft drinks that were realty flat. In this day and age where everything is so expensive you feel really robbed when you have a poor experience with food. We did chat to the bar person who gave us 10% off but we still left with a bitter taste in our mouths. It feels like the sort of place that should just stick to serving beer. Sadly we won’t be returning.

"Visited here in Sept 23 for an executive dinner that we were hosting for various senior business leaders. We booked out the whole venue, which was the perfect size and atmosphere for the intimate and exclusive feel that we wanted, plus a convenient location. The TV that shows into the kitchen was fascinating, and the record player was put to use towards the end of the evening! Caroline from the venue helped us organise the event in advance and was great to deal with. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to enjoy a welcome drinks reception out the front of the venue, and have the door open all evening to let the balmy night in. We had the 7 course taster menu and it was simply OUTSTANDING so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was, particularly the beef steak course! It was so tasty that I even enjoyed the fish dish (not usual for me! . Service on the night was exemplary, the courses were brought out at just the right intervals so you weren't waiting ages but also not being rushed. The chef came out to greet us after the final course, which was a lovely touch and meant we could thank him. Overall, we had really great feedback from our guests, everyone loved it thank you for making our event such a success! We would definitely book again, and I know a few of our guests have already recommended it to their own companies for executive dinners! Would not hesitate to recommend."
