Best KPortal Reviews

Really cozy pub amongst a residential road in ware. The landlord is very friendly with a great team around him
Such a lovely pub. You are always made to feel welcome and the Tuesday quiz is great!
Nicely finished inside has a piano sports tv and locals like it pleasant atmosphere
Excellent pub with a great atmosphere. Looks like a 'locals' pub but far from it. New faces always welcomed by the fantastic landlords.
Quiz on a Tuesday really good fun.
Great selection of beers on tap and varied offering of spirits.
Nicely decorated throughout and always spotless.
Fantastic local pub, always friendly and always feel welcome... and the Guiness is top notch.
Great friendly local, warm and welcoming with some live music, would highly recommend. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat here.will be back in the near future.
Absolutely amazing pub, one of the best in ware if you don't mind leaving the high street. Great for sport, a sun trap out the front and a nice little garden in the back. Dog friendly too.
After seeing some of the replies I felt I had to write a review, mainly to correct some of the absolute delirious excuses that have been made up.
First off, the little boy who was screamed at from across the pub was not running, he was not causing harm to anyone, he was simply walking through the pub holding a children's chair. He was in fact on his way to HIS DAD who was stood outside the front of the pub. He did not almost run in the road, at no point did any of our children run in the road. The language from the landlady to a child was completely out of order. Asking a 7 year old child ‘who he thinks he is’ is not acceptable in any circumstance, and neither is calling him ‘uncontrollable’ which I can see you’ve failed to mention.
To assume that all the parents were ‘in the garden drinking, oblivious to the behaviour’ is an absolute lie as well. To begin with the child who was shouted at, his mother does not drink AT ALL, not that this is something we should have to explain. I also was not drinking as I was driving.
I can see now that it seems other people have been asked to make up some information to make the landlords feel better about themselves. During our time at the pub there was always people from our family outside, at all times, so like another person had suggested a child ran out onto the road we are assuming that the PARENTS just let them get on with it? I don’t think so, yet another malicious lie.
To refer to children as running riot, for being children and playing?
When the landlady was asked if she was proud of herself for making a 7 year old upset her reply was ‘yes I am very’ she then continued to laugh about it and smirk to others in the pub.
At no point did she try to make any parent aware of anything going on, instead she took it upon herself to shout across a pub full of people, who in turn all looked at the child making his situation worse. I fully support another adult coming to speak to me if there was something my child was doing, this however wasn’t the case.
It is quite clear that this pub isn’t equipped to deal with functions of this size, especially when children are present. Children are children and they will play, laugh, shout and do things without knowing there’s a problem in it. That’s the whole point in being a child.
