| Four years ago at Christmas I was to stay when I moved to the area but the hotel had no heating and rooms in poor repair. I moved on to a bed and breakfast with family near. That was then; this is now a very fine renovated hotel and I was happy to enjoy a meal yesterday, with courteous service. gobion_osei - 5 Jan 2009 16:15 |
| Curiosity got the better of me last night (Christmas Eve) and I popped into the RL. with a friend. Although fairly busy this is no longer a locals pub,all of the clientele were unknown to me (despite me being in the village for forty years) and were probably not locals.........fair enough. I prefer to go in a pub where I can speak to friends and people that I know and not feel a total stranger in a place that I've used for four decades. I gather from some people that the food available is quite good now.When the RL gets it heart back then maybe myself and scores of others will return, but NOT until that ridiculous parking charge is scrapped. The car park is now bigger than ever and there is ample space without charging for it. Myskolive - 25 Dec 2008 11:47 |
| I very reluctantly went in here recently with a friend who uses the place once or twice a year. I had told her it wasn't the place that she once new but she insisted upon giving it a go. As expected, absolutely no atmosphere, cold, dull, except for the Star Bar Person Theo. He's just too good for that place now, he served us with a welcome and remembered our names despite not going there for ages. However the pub itself was so miserable, we asked a guy whom we new where is everyone, to which he replied "in the King & Queen". My friend was very saddened to see how this pub had deterioated, once it was the life blood of Wendover.I suddenly remembered that my friend hadn't purchased a car parking ticket! For fear of getting clamped we left damn quickly, leaving our drinks half empty. WHO NEEDS THIS CRAP! Went round to the King & Queen, relaxed, carefree atmosphere and without the petty stupidness of having to buy a ticket to park. You'd think by now the idiots at Marstons would've woken up to this car parking fiasco that's losing then £1000's but they obviously don't care. As Ladyliz says Hey Ho! We'll spend our money and time where we're welcomed and enjoy the friendliness and folk at the King & Queen. Bibasmummy - 21 Dec 2008 12:44 |
| If you look at the stocks & shares pages in the papers you will notice Marstons have rapidly tumbled much faster than the norm for the present climate. Sadly, no improvement at Red Lion, my family and friends will continue to enjoy the warm friendly ambience and quality of the King & Queen. Myskolive - 20 Dec 2008 09:05 |
| A mate of mine who still lives locally to the Red Lion recently described it to me as "the kind of place you go if you need to revover from any feelings of cheerfulness" Says it all really. Biker - 19 Dec 2008 08:55 |
