Beer- A selection of around 4 ales on. Also worth noting over 100 single malt whiskies available if you want to get smashed out of your face. Liam is on the Golden Pippin. I'm not drining as I drove us here. Ok prices 7/10
Staff- hm, it is a pub right in the middle of nowhere. People are bound to be a bit strange here. But, on the whole the staff were very rude and weird. One of us asked if they had a veggy meal and were dismissed. The main barman seemed happy to ignore us and only talk to locals. Another weird staff related thing- we had to go into the kitchen to order food. Quite weird seeing people cooking while you buy food. Unusual seen as though the pub is pretty big and has space to pay for food anywhere else. Anyway, that's how they do it here..... Our food was nice but the vegetarian gratin was bland and it seemed to cause get trouble to get a vege sauce to go with it 4/10
Decor- The most beautiful view you could get from a pub. Views all around the moors. Can see sheep flocking about (or whatever they do). Plenty of dogs hanging about as well. Very old fashioned inside and the collection of single malts looks good too. 2 rooms, open fires. Very old school. Stuffed things. Also, the womens has the oldest handdryer in the world in there. 9/10
Clientele- Walkers, families and the single malt appreciation society. OK on the whole and pretty quiet. We seem completely rowdy and keep talking about highly inappropriate and loud stuff. 5/10
Music- none. Ok-ish atmosphere, but slightly hostile. We have overheard one man actually saying 'yah yah yah' with hilarious real Welsch accent. The is an underlying climate of fear in there though. Maybe its of the bar staff. not sure 3/10
