This is still a Harvester, the Travelodge is still there behind the pub, and it still doesn’t do any real ale although I did spot the keg version of Old Speckled Hen. I went for a pint of San Miguel. Being a Harvester it is obviously food led, offering the usual stuff that this chain dishes up. There is a large car park, and plenty of ouside seating (some covered and heated) for use by smokers. Inside the majority of the place is for diners of course, but there is a surprisingly large area dedicated to drinkers – or perhaps for those waiting for a table to become available. There is a large wooden beamed and brick built fireplace in the bar area, but otherwise I didn’t see anything very remarkable about it. To be honest I don’t think that there is any reason to visit here unless you’re looking for a Harvester meal. I don’t expect to return, but you never know.

The George is a Harvester located next to a Travelodge and they share the same large car park. It was heaving with young families on Saturday afternoon and the small bar area was full of children and grannies. There are no hand pumps on the bar, but Old Speckled Hen was amongst the usual draught suspects. To say that I was disappointed to find that the George was a Harvester after walking up from the Plough which is also a Harvester is an understatement.
