The Robin Hood is part of the Greene King and has recently been overtaken by new owners, so they were advertising new menus, new prices. I visited early lunchtime.
Although there were three real ale swan neck pumps, there was only Abbot and IPA, which was perfect for what I required. The lite bite menu was simple food, but all seemingly freshly made, I enjoyed a ploughman’s, with a decent cheddar and thick local ham slices. It was refreshing not to have balsamic salad as an accompaniment. But I’m not sure that it was worth the £6.95 that I paid for it, but that seems to be the going rate.
The interior is a proper country pub size and shape, modern decoration, with old photos, and chunky furniture, it is comfortable place and I suspect trade has always been good for evening meals, the menu looked very tempting. A friendly barman welcomed me and I enjoyed my time there.
They have a huge rear garden, but there didn’t seem enough seating for such a big place, and only 1 timber frame climbing frame for the children.
It’s a really pleasant place, and I certainly would go again, just a shame it was all Greene king ales.
