Review:
From the very traditional Victorian façade and well crafted ironwork signage you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the depth and character ranging back throughout the centuries that is on offer at The Golden Slipper. For its narrow size and series of small connected rooms it still has an open warm feel of beams, history and a very welcoming ambiance. One particular room has a full library of books covering one wall and a selection of kid’s toys, very quirky and family friendly. It is evident of the 15th Century origins and how this Inn developed over the years, emphasizing these features and the rickety nature of the building generates charm throughout while still providing the luxuries of the 21st Century. There’s a great selection of beers, although a little pricey as this end of town seems to be, and they have the cutest little yard area out the back, good utilization of space but not the best of beer gardens. There’s also plenty of entertainment with darts, jukebox, quizzes and the such like, a very vibrant local pub. We feel if it wasn’t let down a bit by the 19th Century toilets and the high prices this would surely be a five star pub, but either way it’s a definite recommendation and we will be back.
