Under New Management - Mark West (31st Oct 2007 - 07:56:07) Hello everyone, just to let you that the Links is now under new management, The new managers name is Laura and she is very pleasant and wants to bring back the good old days to the Links. Alec and Mary are now based at the Hogs Lodge in Clanfield if you want to say hello????? Everyone welcome even old members of staff that have left.

Re: Under New Management - Karen Feeney (31st Oct 2007 - 09:45:26) Went to the Links last night for our Carnival meeting and the staff were extremely polite, helpful and friendly. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you at our forthcoming christmas 'do' Karen

Re: Under New Management - liz (31st Oct 2007 - 10:47:08) I was wary when Fullers took over the Links. The new management had a difficult job as so many of us were against any change. I think Alex and Mary settled in very well eventually and certainly couldn't have been more helpful with a recent event we had there. Dare I say it - the food was actually better than in the past. (Even though I was one of the first to complain about moules and chips -as opposed to frites). Now Fullers are moving them on. Bad decision guys (and girls). Soon there'll be nobody in in the Links apart from a cliquey few.

Re: Under New Management - Claudia (1st Nov 2007 - 10:53:05) All of us old Links gang will be back we want the pub to survive sucessfully!!!! I say good luck to the new management it cant get any worse than it was so the only way is up!!!!! Of course the food cooked by Westy has always been fantastic, i love eating there its the best food around for miles!!!

Re: Under New Management - oscar (1st Nov 2007 - 11:01:58) About time Fullers got someone new in . good luck laura..

Re: Under New Management - Rhys G (1st Nov 2007 - 12:13:54) I miss the Links. Keep up the good work and food Westy, I will visit sometime soon. Lets hope it returns to a 'Debbie standard'!

Re: Under New Management - liz (1st Nov 2007 - 14:55:26) Good food at the Links. Certainly. The best for miles around? I don't think so.

Re: Under New Management - Freddie Dawkins (2nd Nov 2007 - 10:35:08) Hi, All - Well, I looked back at a thread about the local pubs and their food from a year ago. Considering how much many of them have changed - new owners, managers, landlords etc, though it might be an idea to open this discussion up. How about a Talkback Independent Rating? I'd start by: 5* excellent-1*disappointing The Links - can't score because I've not been there in ages, will check it out this weekend. Royal Anchor - Beer - ** Food - * Welcome- **** The Green Dragon - Beer - **** Food - not tried Welcome - **** The Black Fox - Beer - **** Food - ****/* Welcome - ***** Sun Inn - Not tried since take over a few weeks ago. Feel a Sunday lunch coming on. On the previous owners: Beer - *** Food - ***/* Welcome - ***/* Rising Sun - Beer - *** Food - *** Welcome - **** The Good Intent - not tried recently. Hawkley Inn - used to be one of my favourites but not been there for ages - anyone been there recently? Trouble is, you have to arrnage a taxi well beforehand, as it's a bit out of the way and not everyone will pick up there later in the evening. Pub with no Name - Beer - *** Food - **** Welcome - *** cheers! Freddie

Re: Under New Management - Ben Lawrance (7th Nov 2007 - 18:20:03) Freddie, Thanks for your feedback, but you haven't told us why each score was gained?

Re: Under New Management - Freddie Dawkins (7th Nov 2007 - 20:35:54) Hi, Ben - Purely personal opinion based on experiences of various hostelries. As I've not been in some of them for a while, I made the point of only scoring those I've frequented in the past few weeks. We all like different food, different atmospheres, so it's very much meant as a bit of fun. cheers! Freddie
