IMO Not Good at all. Bear with me: Ladies toilets are through a door at the back of the seating area. The door leads to a 60 cm wide washroom with two loos off on the right. The whole area is about 2 metres long. On Sat night 3rd October one loo was blocked and the area was overflowing with not fresh water. There was no turn around room: some women were crouching under the non working hand dryer to put on make up. All it took was one folding woman and her friends' decision that the loo was the best place to take her and the whole bar was full of the queue for the Ladies. Some women with men friends got to the Gents and reported a lot more room - more cubicles than in the Ladies.
Very disappointed - had expected something classier and less cynical.

A charming watering hole during the week and an excellent party venue at the weekend! The food is great and the staff always efficient in my experience.

What looks like quite a good place to drink on the outside, I'm afraid the same cannot be said once inside. The bar, tables and chairs are all very dated, which along with the sheer incompetence and rudeness of the bar staff, would explain the distinct lack of punters and atmosphere within this establishment. Despite it being a quiet Wednesday lunchtime the barmaid was far more interested in having a casual conversation with a friend of hers beside us at the bar. I can understand that there may sometimes be more important issues at hand than a couple of pints of lager, and that I will have to wait my turn if someone is at the bar before me, however, in this instance it was nothing short of rudeness. After being kept waiting for ten minutes at the bar for service we were then acknowledged with a very discourteous mime with a finger pointing upwards telling us to wait another minute. I have never come across anything so disrespectful in any other establishment that I have had the pleasure, or indeed displeasure, of drinking in over previous years. I was hoping to be able to comment on the quality of the beer, however, I can't as we were so disgusted we left without ordering.

JPHipps, are you sure you went in to the The Horse & Groom? I'm a regular customer there and what you just have described sounds nothing like it.!
From the outside the pub doesn't actually look too inviting, I thought it was closed at first. But as soon as I came in, the pub transformed into something totally different. They actually got a really nice collection of different vintage furniture, oak flooring and old paintings on the wall.And the staff has always greeted me with a smile and a casual conversation everytime I've been there.
