点评:I have known this cosy little pub for about 40 years and over that time it has not changed one little bit, right down to the outdoor gents' toilets. It's a traditional old Brakspear's pub and very much a village local although it is located a little outside the main Frieth village (from Lane End, turn right at the crossroads just before entering the main village). Breakspear's pub company split from its brewery several years ago and sadly, and short-sightedly, the brewery's current owners, Carlsberg-Marston's have decided to close the Oxfordshire brewery and although they will no doubt continue to produce a Brakspear branded product elsewhere, it is unlikely to remain the beer we've known and loved for many years. Back to the pub, it is, first and foremost, a wet led pub, food being very much secondary here. So please don't come with any big food expectations and you won't be disappointed. Simple food is served lunchtimes only with the menu on a blackboard, so it may change a bit, but at the time of our visit the food offering was Fish & chips, Scampi & chips plus a small range of sandwiches. Our food was all perfectly prepared with friendly and efficient service. The main thing about this pub is to come and enjoy the timeless atmosphere with friendly locals dropping in with their dogs, sitting around and chatting around the open fire, an experience which is fast disappearing from today's pub scene.
翻译:我认识这家温馨的小酒吧大约有 40 年了,从那时起,它就没有发生过一点变化,就连室外的男士厕所也是如此。这是一家传统的老 Brakspear's 酒吧,虽然它位于 Frieth 主村稍远的地方(从 Lane End 出发,在进入主村之前的十字路口右转),但它更像是一个乡村当地的酒吧。几年前,Breakspear 的酒吧公司从其啤酒厂中分离出来,遗憾的是,该啤酒厂的现任所有者嘉士伯马斯顿 (Carlsberg-Marston's) 目光短浅,决定关闭牛津郡啤酒厂,尽管他们无疑将继续在其他地方生产 Brakspear 品牌的产品,但不太可能继续成为我们多年来所熟知和喜爱的啤酒。回到酒吧,首先,它是一家潮湿的酒吧,食物在这里是次要的。所以请不要对食物抱有太大的期望,你不会失望的。午餐时间只提供简单的食物,菜单写在黑板上,所以可能会有所改变,但在我们访问时,提供的食物有炸鱼薯条、挪威海虾和薯条以及少量三明治。我们的食物都是精心准备的,服务友好而高效。这家酒吧的主要目的是享受永恒的氛围,友好的当地人带着他们的狗一起过来,围坐在篝火旁聊天,这种体验很快就会从今天的酒吧场景中消失。
