The Old Thatch, Stapehill

My husband and I just happened to pop into the old thatch last August as we wanted a roast but didn't fancy a carvery. I was hesitant at first as I remember the thatch from 10 years ago ( it used to be nice once but had gone downhill ), my husband talked me into it and I'm glad he did!
We walked into the main bar area and were instantly greeted warmly by the bar staff, we found a nice little table in the corner and went through the menu, what a choice! All the pub favourites and on Sundays a choice from four roasts. We went for the Stilton and bacon potato boats to start ( I really recommended those!) and then had the roast dinner. The meat was not over cooked and the selection of veg was seasonal and fresh. I managed to find room for a pudding, as my husband finished his meal with a coffee. We were really impressed with the service and quality of food, the portion sizes were generous and the meal was reasonably priced. We were so happy with our meal that we decided to return the following week with our friends, they loved it too!
Since our first visit we have become regulars and have even won the quiz there( held on Thursday nights). One of the best things for us is that we can take our dog (Pootle) out with us in the evening, she has met Milo the pub dog and fortunately they get on well. The bar staff and landlady always make a fuss of Pootle and there is always fresh water and dog biscuits on hand for all four legged visitors.
Since the current owners have taken over, the pub has established a good reputation. It has become very popular and can get busy at times which can lead to a slighty longer wait for food but it is always fresh and always tasty!
