Absolutely amazing pub, one of the best in ware if you don't mind leaving the high street. Great for sport, a sun trap out the front and a nice little garden in the back. Dog friendly too.

Excellent pub with a great atmosphere. Looks like a 'locals' pub but far from it. New faces always welcomed by the fantastic landlords. Quiz on a Tuesday really good fun. Great selection of beers on tap and varied offering of spirits. Nicely decorated throughout and always spotless.

After seeing some of the replies I felt I had to write a review, mainly to correct some of the absolute delirious excuses that have been made up. First off, the little boy who was screamed at from across the pub was not running, he was not causing harm to anyone, he was simply walking through the pub holding a children's chair. He was in fact on his way to HIS DAD who was stood outside the front of the pub. He did not almost run in the road, at no point did any of our children run in the road. The language from the landlady to a child was completely out of order. Asking a 7 year old child ‘who he thinks he is’ is not acceptable in any circumstance, and neither is calling him ‘uncontrollable’ which I can see you’ve failed to mention. To assume that all the parents were ‘in the garden drinking, oblivious to the behaviour’ is an absolute lie as well. To begin with the child who was shouted at, his mother does not drink AT ALL, not that this is something we should have to explain. I also was not drinking as I was driving. I can see now that it seems other people have been asked to make up some information to make the landlords feel better about themselves. During our time at the pub there was always people from our family outside, at all times, so like another person had suggested a child ran out onto the road we are assuming that the PARENTS just let them get on with it? I don’t think so, yet another malicious lie. To refer to children as running riot, for being children and playing? When the landlady was asked if she was proud of herself for making a 7 year old upset her reply was ‘yes I am very’ she then continued to laugh about it and smirk to others in the pub. At no point did she try to make any parent aware of anything going on, instead she took it upon herself to shout across a pub full of people, who in turn all looked at the child making his situation worse. I fully support another adult coming to speak to me if there was something my child was doing, this however wasn’t the case. It is quite clear that this pub isn’t equipped to deal with functions of this size, especially when children are present. Children are children and they will play, laugh, shout and do things without knowing there’s a problem in it. That’s the whole point in being a child.

Awful experience. Had a wake here for a close relative and the woman running the place thought it was ok to continuously shout at the children for running through, making one of them quite upset. However you feel the children are behaving, you speak to the parents, you do not scream and shout at the children. She was witnessed being very rude to them. An already upsetting time for us, made worse by the person supposed to be hosting it. We brought a lot of business to this quiet pub that evening and this is the thanks. Absolutely disgusting, unprofessional behaviour, much worse than the young children! Would not recommend for families or events. **REPLY** NO ONE thanked you, probably other than the one person you knew! Everybody thought it was disgusting behaviour, and didn’t buy another drink after this and left. You were also not stopping them ‘running in the road’, you screamed at them in the pub like a loonatic, for running through holding a plastic kids chair! And their father and uncles were in the seating area out the front at this time anyway! You should be so ashamed of yourself, dealing with the situation the way you did, and at a wake of all things. You talk to the parents, not scream at little children.

Having been in the pub yesterday for a quiet drink, I feel compelled to provide a comment in light of todays unfair reviews of this always quiet and friendly pub. A pub, particularly a small, quiet pub like this is not the place for children to be running around. It is the parents/carers responsibility, not the publicans, to look after their children, and to stop them knocking down chairs and emptying hand sanitizer over the floor. However when the safety of the children, who I witnessed running into the busy road, was not being addressed by the parents/carers, then it is a good job the publican did intervene to avoid the children or a customer being harmed. I understand a wake is an emotional occasion and that minds may be elsewhere, but this pub does nothing but care for the safety and enjoyment of customers whether old or new and cannot be blamed for the behaviour of the children, and should be commended for the fact they cared enough to react to the potential dangers, and made the family of children aware.

Recently visited this pub whilst visiting relatives who live in Ware, I was well impressed and found it a lovely cosy inn, my only concern was the Barman's reluctance to accept Scottish banknotes, however as this seems to be an ongoing thing regarding Scottish banknotes with English landlords over many years it has come to be expected, l would like to say that any English visitors using Scottish pubs will receive a warm welcome,,,and you won't even require to exchange your currency☺

Just returned home after a lovely authentic Greek meal at the Village Taverna. Met the charismatic owner Tommy who welcomed us and were served by friendly and professional waitresses. The best Taramasalata ever!! I’ve eaten many as it’s my go to starter and this was the best. Great Salmon and Prawn main course dishes cooked on the charcoal barbecue - delicious. Nice atmosphere with Greek music in the background. Tommy and staff checked everything was okay and we were made to feel very welcome. We will be back very soon to sample some more fresh and delicious food. Keep up the great work.
