Steve. It is NOT a turning area for motorists picking up passengers from the railway station, it is a car park for patrons of the pub. Don't like it, STAY OUT Jessica Irving from Bristol. You must have been at the back of the queue when humor was given out. The only person/people being sexists is you and your group. Regulars and others patrons who use the pub, INCLUDING rail users have no problem whatsoever with anything that goes on in the pub. The landlord keeps a tight rein on the conduct of the patrons and does ban people who step out of line.

It is a family pub where children are allowed in. The food in the pub is excellent. The bar staff are second to none with great personalities and very friendly, especially towards new customers. Everyone gels in there. My advice to you, DON'T KNOCK IT 'TIL YOU'VE TRIED IT. Yes, it's a great pub, great atmosphere, great food, and great entertainment. It is above all, a non sexist pub as you would have...

After they did this, the men sat down continued to make comments about my appearance and my behaviour to the harassing gentlemen. I went in and told my partner who came out to my defence as any right person would do. However the land lady came out and asked what happened and I explained the situation very calmly and appropriately, hoping she’d understand as a woman. And instead of defending the victim, they protected their regulars and made my feelings and experience invalid and kicked me out in a very...
Read moreYesterday... Saturday 27th July I went for a short ride on Jess, my xmas presant. It was the only ride, other than early January, that i had been astride her due to her age (36). As i entered the slip road, just off the duel carriageway, the clutch jammed. I pulled over, worried for her good health. As i scanned the area, i was relieved and surprised to see several BIKERS on the nearby roundabout. I preformed the standard spot cheaks and adjustments, but with traffic motoring close by, i was in trouble !!
Then, i believe, one of the "B.B. B." Guy's helped me to bumpstart jess. I immediately went the 1/4 mile to the old ford. WOW... I HAVENT SEEN IT AS BUSY THERE SINCE BIKER MARSHALS FUNERAL.
THIS IS WHAT THE OLD FORD WAS BUILT FOR !!!
So... if your lucky enough to have a Bike, get your arse down to the Old Ford. It is F@*%$ng...
