Have been in the Running Stream recently for Friday dinner (last couple of weeks). There was only 5 customers including us. We had the meals here, which were disappointing to say the least. The portion sizes and quality of menu has shrunk from a few months ago, and according to a member of staff they have recently changed their chef. The beef stew was very poor value for money for what you get. My partners cod was much smaller than last time, and she said it tasted no different than the Birdseye packets.

A local gem. Proper English Pub with a very friendly and warm welcome from a nice set of locals and friendly and helpful landlady who knows how to run a pub. Been visiting now as one of our locals for a year. I’m a real ale fan so it’s great that the ale is kept really well. It’s not a gastro pub but the other half is a big foodie and we’re very pleasantly surprised at the quality of her own cooked food. Last had the beef in ale stew which was great. A range of vans appear in the week serving food. Have tried the smoked meat van a few times with the family which was good. Overall, my perfect type of pub. No TV, lovely locals and landlady, great ale, and good parking. Can’t actually find anything negative to say...
