Grubby but cheap, now after a refurb not even cheap. And bar service from one individual that makes…read morethe bar service at The Giant Bellflower Wetherspoons pub just down the road look courteous and fast! This individual named Lyndsey is the most morose, bad attitude, lazy, argumentative and nasty individual I have ever had the misfortune to meet. The last (and I mean last) time I walked in to a virtually empty bar to spend some of my wages I was ignored yet again (absolutely commonplace with this particular barmaid) and was so annoyed I left, and will not return until Lyndsey is no longer employed there. Pretty disgraceful behaviour to be quite frank and the landlord Steve Whitehead needs to know about this behaviour.

The Wishing Well is the restaurant within The New Country Inn open to the public and residents alike. The restaurant and bar has been opened for about 2 years now and has certainly impressed the locals by the superb facilities on offer and the very friendly staff. The Wishing Well is a family orientated restaurant with spacious seating indoor and out, with high chair and changing facilities for small ones. There is a fabulous children's menu, which caters for vegetarians and meal eaters alike, so even my picky three were happy. I was impressed by the sheer variety of dishes available for adults too. There's everything from traditional gammon and chips and steak to fish dishes and lasagne and different options for lunch, tea or just snacks. The starters are pretty tempting too, as are the sweets, but my three love the ice cream Sundays the best!As well as the restaurant and bar The Wishing Well regularly hold pub quizzes and fun nights. We attended the family Halloween evening, where the children dressed up and played all evening to the entrainment provided.

When I went in it was friendly enough but mainly had locals from Riccall in there, so did feel slightly out of place! I would never go there unless I happen to be in Riccall again for some reason.

I visited this pub last year whilst on a visit to see close friends and family. We all had an…read moreexcellent night, live music and a great atmosphere! The staff were attentive and had no problems in table service and checking we were okay. We all had part of the steak deal which was amazing! The Jack Rabbit wine was to die for! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and i was looking forward to visiting again this year. Having enjoyed our night so much we decided to go again but was severely disappointed. There appears to be new managers, very rude and didn't appear to care. I was waiting at the bar for over 10 minutes before i was even acknowledged by the landlady who was sat talking to people/customers. Finally after getting our drinks my husband received a very flat pint of Carling. At over 3 pounds a pint i told him to go back and get it changed. The landlady's response to this was, after a huff and a puff, 'its not my fault, its tough you already took the pint away.' under her breath. I thought that attitude was disgusting! After some negotiation we still decided to order food and sat down at our table at the bottom end of the restaurant. Yet again i was disappointed at how dirty it was with leftover food on the floor and seats, i was embarresed to have recommended this place to people. As we were right next to the kitchen all we could hear was there radio very loud and constant swearing and shouting from the chef, who seems to be the new landlord, not what i want to hear whilst having tea! The prices have seem to increased dramatically in the past year and the standard of the food dropped!!The veg that was brought out to us was very watery like it had been sat around for ages and reheated, my husbands lasagne was cold and my sister sent her steak back to be redone as she asked for rare and received very well done! Its safe to say i will NOT be returning to the Hare and Hounds again and defiantly NOT recommend it to people. The attitude of people was disgusting and it felt like only regulars and locals should be in there. When we left it was more like a youth club than a pub! They have definitely lost the standards the old managers had and its a shame.

Not a bad little pub. You can eat in the back bit that is separate so not too near the boozers. You…read morecan booze in the front bit not too near the eaters. It's a bit 'local' but not TOO much. I am not local and you can read a paper, get left alone or have a little banter with the staff and regulars. The barmaids are all about 18/19 so if you are too then that is good; I am not but they are polite and nice and found me a plug socket to charge my phone. There are some local young mugs who think they are hard (they are not) who go there late on Friday and Saturday nights but the rest of the time it is a nice place to chill and have a drink, mostly middle aged, middle class people but you get passing bikers and cyclists. People visiting the local area. Its a relaxed place for everyone. They have quizzes too, and I think live music now and again, but I am not sure what nights. The outdoor smokers area is pretty well made too. Only open to the elements at the front. Worth a visit if you are passing or from nearby and fancy a change from your usual pub.
