From our experience last year, we decided to call in again, on our way home.
In my last review, I wrote, "Not a place to go if you are in a hurry".
Oh my, how true that is.
It was a nice evening, about 6:15ish. My wife and dog sat a table in the empty garden. I went off to the bar for some drinks.
The bar was as empty as the garden - No customers or staff.
I wandered about a bit, thought about serving myself, and then saw the big bell hanging at one end of the bar. I gave it a good clanging, and waited - nothing. I was actually in the bar, on my own, for about five minutes
I decided that we should go on to somewhere that might want my money.
On the way out, I bumped into someone who asked if they could help (The Landlady?) I told my story. She seemed unperturbed and said she would get someone to serve me. I told her she should be doing it herself, but not to bother.
From this incident, I have reduced my rating from 7 to 1.
Needless to say, we won't bother again.

This is not a pub. It is a restaurant that serves beer. In this case, a combination that works very well.
The food is priced, and served, as a restaurant, not as a pub. However, it is cooked to order, and is well worth the wait.
I had a pint of the locally brewed Newtons bitter - Very nice indeed.
Not a place to go if you are in a hurry.
