What Camper22312312084 doesn't like about The Choughs:
The man in charge of this establishment is terrible. His attitude is awful and he is always intoxicated. There are plenty of words I could use to describe him, but none are appropriate for TripAdvisor. View all feedback. What Dream68517512708 likes about The Choughs:

Someone should tell the landlord he is in the HOSPITALITY trade, which should translate as making your customers feel welcome. Been overcharged by rude staff mo...

At The Chough, visitor experiences are notably mixed, oscillating between warm hospitality and severe disappointment. While some patrons applaud the delicious food and friendly service under the new management of Johnny, others highlight the unprofessional demeanor and intoxicated behavior of the previous landlord. Reports of rude staff and a threatening atmosphere tarnish the establishment's reputation, suggesting a past marred by a "rough" clientele. However, with recent changes in leadership, many now enjoy a welcoming ambiance alongside the well-regarded new menu offerings. For those seeking a genuine pub experience, reconsidering The Chough might lead to unexpected delights.
