Room was tiny & cramped & not fresh but seemed dusty. Had to mostly keep windows shut as drinkers would smoke just outside the room. Seemed like furnishings were still from 1960 but not maintained. Also our room door would not lock. Had breakfast there but very ordinary. Overall place grubby. Thus did not eat dinner there. Owners rather unsmiling and unwelcoming.
Arrived 13.55 to be coldly greeted with a door closing and being told “we’re closing”. When I pointed out that the notice on the door said they were open until 14.30, the woman asked “do you want food?” and added “because we stop serving food at 14.00 and as it’s almost that now we won’t do any”. Without waiting for a response she then shut the door on us. The warm Greek welcome we received last time we were here is long gone. Avoid!
Pulled in for a water and oil check, and saw the pub sign,nice little country pub friendly landlord, we paid another visit on our return journey, pub was quiet and was not doing food, however they agreed to put on some bowels of chips as we where hungry on our steam day journey.
Well where do I start, went into the establishment to be greeted with a question are you local? No smile no hello or can i help you?. Asked what beers they had but was glared back with no response. Then I asked can I have a look at the menu but was told instantly the kitchen has closed. I explained we had just eaten but maybe for another time as we quite often drive past. Bearing in mind it was only around 8:19pm. Then he said there's a garden out the back. It was said in a manner that came across as if we were not welcome in the bar area. Then as we was leaving I took the menu and empty glasses back into the bar area out of courtesy, there was food still being served which was disappointing to say the least. As a fellow Greek myself I was joyed to hear the Greek music and have always associated this with warm and welcoming experiences. Unfortunately not on this occasion.
An intimate traditional village pub frequented by the friendly locals. You'll be made to feel right at home by the locals and staff, get the chance to sample some traditional Greek food, and tasty local ales. Beautiful views over farmland from the beer garden. Recommended
