The Tors Inn Review

The outside makes it look tiny.

What a time capsule this place is. It’s like walking into your Grandma’s living room. If your Grandma is well stocked with whisky that is. It’s a charming little stone building on the outside that goes back much further than you’re expecting when you walk in. There’s a ramp for wheelchair access which is probably the only modern thing in there. It’s dog friendly which is great for us. There were two lovely dogs already inside who I’m guessing belonged to the bar.

Check the decor.

We were served at the bar by a polite young girl. We had a pint of Sam’s Poundhouse Crisp which was a very reasonable £.3.25 per pint. There was something wrong with the barrel and it took ages to pour. I think it’s customary to offer to bring the drinks over in this situation, especially when it’s not busy but maybe this is being picky? Anyway the cider tasted fine.

Quite a good drink selection.

The place started to fill up once we’d been in there a while (we usually have the opposite effect). There are about five or six tables so it doesn’t take much to fill but the locals all seem to line the bar. Everyone was friendly enough. We didn’t get the regulars giving us the hard stare and going quiet when we walked in.

The menu.

The drink selection was pretty large considering the size of the place. It was all quite possibly bought from Tesco as there didn’t seem to be any sign of any brewery affiliation. The food selection looked pretty good too and the food we saw being brought out looked nice, although we didn’t eat. The meals ranged from about £8 for simple meals to £15 for a steak. There was also a Sunday afternoon carvery for £8.50. We didn’t see it though as it was Saturday.

Fliers on the tables.

There was an advert on the table for the upcoming entertainment. Featured was the excellently monikered ‘Walter Shortage and the Hosepipe Banned’. Other entertainment abounded. This would make a cracking local if we lived closer. This seemed to be very much a community hub. Although it wasn’t particularly fancy it has a very homely feel. If I was in the neighbourhood I’d certainly like to check out their meals. Have you ever been? If so let us know your experience in the comments below. Cheers.
