Real Ale Hunter

Added by BENNETTONBEER - 2012

I went into the Well House at lunch time on the 30th January 2012. On many previous visits to the pub at this time it has been both ram-packed and vibrant On this occasion I was the only customer and remained so until I left 25min later. No atmosphere, little character left and heavily outnumbered by bored staff I hastily finished my beer and departed. The once excellent menu had been cut down to transport cafe proportions so I did not order food and the one ale, a favourite of mine, O'Hanlons Port Stout, that I tried was over temperature and tasted like the lines needed attention. This was reported to the barmen who showed little visible interest. I cannot now recommended the Well House and will not do so again until the management realise what a potential gem they have and restore it to the welcoming pub of the past.
