The Old Devil, Knowl Hill

Now closed - David and Sarah have relocated to The Old House in Warren Row (I think to be re-named the Snooty Fox?)

Thatchers Tavern, Woodley

This used to be my local pub, but we went there very rarely because the atmosphere was very unwelcoming and it was often full of uncontrolled kids being ignored by their drunken parents. We moved a few miles away and haven't been for a couple of years. We decided to visit this weekend as it was sunny and it does have a decent sized garden - what an improvement. I understand it is under new management, and you can really tell. Much cleaner, loads friendlier. Couple of decent beers on, very nice simple menu. We had baguettes which were fresh and tasty, and a bowl of the best pub chips I've had in a long time. I hope they keep it up. It's in a good location right on Southlake which is a nice little walk around, and they even have a kids play area in the garden (fenced off from the rest of the garden)
