5 /5 Simon Rose: We stopped by on a Monday, not aware of the change of ownership, Id checked the reviews just before setting off to see what was on tap as wed been there a few time before.
I was a bit cynical about the plethora of new reviews saying it was great. I was very wrong.
Its definitely much much better than before and the reviews were right
Masimo ( spelling?) behind the bar was very friendly offering a taste of the cask beers and chatting about stuff
They have three real log fires which were wonderfully warm and somewhat magnetic at this time of year, but as there were three there was space for everyone to cluster round an open fire and revel in it....:-)
Wine was super cold. Prices much beter than before.
We now need to pop back for a Sunday roast.
Very dog friendly, but we didnt have our one this time
