This was another pub I stopped into with my dad and my uncle during a trip to visit family. When we entered, the bartender immediately came over to say hello. Turns out he's the son of the owner, and remembered my dad's frequent visits way back in the day. The bar itself is long, with lots of seating for small groups of people. The friendly staff and patrons made this place an instant favorite for me. The Guinness was delicious as well! I highly recommend stopping in if you find yourself in the area.

We ate dinner at Spinners on a trip through the Midlands. I thought the meal was really "just OK"…read more The service was VERY slow and not all that friendly. We had a steak sandwich which was a bit tough and thin but had a nice flavor. We had a burger that was rather dry, but again had a nice flavor. The dessert was lovely. The prices were fair. All in all - it was just OK. There was really nothing about the visit that would make me want to try it again. What bothered me the most was the restroom, which was not well maintained or especially clean the evening we were there. It was cold on our visit, but the outdoor area looked very nice. Perhaps a good place to go for coffee and dessert in the evening.

The thatch is an old traditional pub and retains that authentic atmosphere. The portion sizes are great - I started out with the seafood chowder which was quite filling and served with thick slabs of brown bread. I followed up with the 10oz sirloin - beautiful cooked and minimal fat on it. My friend had a curry - was okay but she didn't rave about it. Definitely worth stopping in here.
