VERY children/family unfriendly. I arrived today with wife and pram. The first thing we noticed was the sign on the door: "this is not a playground" and an explanation that "because of health and safety, prams must be kept in the garden".

My wife then entered to ask if we could have lunch there, explaining that we had a baby in a pram with us. The member of serving staff said that this wasn't a problem, so we then entered with pram. Straight away, another member of staff (think he may have been the manager?) marched up to us and asked us to leave, saying that there was no more room for another pram (it should be pointed out that the pub was half empty). As we then tried to explain that the first member of staff had told us to come in, he cut us off, saying "there is a sign outside, you know!" and marched away again.... Stunned, we left and had a pub lunch at a far more family friendly pub, namely the Rose & Crowne in Walthamstow... We will never be returning to The Village pub again.

This is the pub in the 'Village'. It has such as diverse range of people and is very welcoming, along with the great attentive staff and the super friendly manager.

No bistro nonsense hear, just a proper pub.
