I think this is a great pub. Never in my brief lifetime
have I been lucky enough to drink in an establishment
where the "managers" seem to be on there own little
quest to ban everyone who drinks there before they
finish their drink. I'm just so grateful that I could
assist in there little private competition. Come on
Vanessa, you've nearly barred the whole pub. You can do
it.

Just visited for the first time in about 4 years,
stopped going in because were told our children of 4 and
6yrs were not welcome, and wow what a turn around.
Families now welcome, special meals for children all
fresh food not processed, friendly atmosphere, no
swearing or rowdy locals, full of very nice people, the
managers young couple David and V didn't get her full
name made every effort to make us feel welcome and the
staff couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely go
there again, we cant praise it enough what a difference
from when we last visited. Keep it up guys a fantastic
job.

What is going on are Dave an Vanessa on a mission to destroy our local ?
All the regulars now use the bluebell or the oak as most have been
banned for little or no reason my mate got barred for drinking water on
Thursday . The price went up 20p a pint not long ago ! Twaiths please
act now an install a decent manager before we loose what was a very
happy busy friendly little pub !

I was a regular at this pub for 15 years until Jan 08. The people
running the pub now do not care about the customers, and they do not
care about this once great pub either. Bring back Ian, Faith, Liam and
the old staff - it used to be fantastic back then.
No longer a regular

Fantastic pub - very friendly and helpful staff. Recommend the
live bands on Thursday night - particularly Beatles One and Partners in
Crime.

It was a friends 80th Birthday so having had many wonderful meals here
(with these friends before too) we booked a table for five. Our starters
were very good but when we started our main course our friend said her
fish was cold in the middle. We quietly told the waitress and after a
few minutes an obnoxious little man came and told us that the chef had
probed the fish and it was hot enough to eat and basically if she didn't
want to eat that meal we would have to pay for another one. Nothing was
resolved and we walked out without finishing our meals.
A young couple walked out just after we did having been about to order a
meal and told us they were not coming back to a place where the customer
was treated so badly.
What a terrible night. We will not be returning.

Last visit I had was very disappointing (all previous times had
been fine). My meal was diabolical and my friend found a live slug in
her salad (albeit a small one, but still!) - staff were very apologetic
and offered us a discount. But can definitely say will not be eating
there again. Otherwise, the pub itself has a good atmosphere and is
good for a few beers.

Fantastic pub. Brilliant beer, and the 'no children' policy makes
it a great place for adults to go with out having to tolerate screaming
kids. brilliant landlord and landlady. A local regulars pub which
welcomes all to its good beers range, and great food, with excellent
staff and a great atmosphere. A must try for adults wanting to escape
teenagers and children.

So friendly that the whole of the Saxon's regulars have moved there!
well done to the land lord and land lady, great food/beer and always
welcoming to all. You know how to treat your regulars !

Well, we live next door and
to be honest the seating is a bit hard on the ass ! but apart from that
we love it - the other places around here aren't too good.
The food is excellent - we were there on Christmas day !! Perfect, and
the staff are great too.
We recommend this place to anybody that wants a
good meal and drink. And our comments are not because we are so near..

Great Place, Great Food, Gorgeous bar staff, fantastic friendly service,
have some great bands on, always good for a night out.

Not bad place for country pub food ok would recommend baguettes.
Definitely worth a try. not
for teen 'wallies' though.
London Pride
A poor range of beers and uncomfortable seating ruin a potentially excellent
pub/restaurant. The atmosphere is further spoiled by obnoxious regulars who seem
determined to drive out other custom. A very unfortunate visit.
Mr. J. Evans
Great food, great in the summer and winter, but better on hot sunny days.
Landlord and landlady very friendly.
Mark Low
The Warsteiner beer is all good!
Stellavision
One of my favourites near where I live.
The staff are friendly and the food in the restaurant is thoughtfully prepared.
Definitely worth a try.
