I would like to say how disgusted I was not only with the food but also with the service that we received.
My partner asked for a medium rare steak and received what can only be described as a piece of old carpet. My daughter was served with a lamb shank that was just fat and bone, no meat to be seen. And I had a gammon steak that was so dry that it could have been used as a doorstop.
We tried discretely to complain, and the landlord grabbed my partners plate from him and said to my daughter "I'm not worried about yours it's out of a bag" then made a great scene and shouted across the whole pub "give these people their money back and get them out"! If this is how the other customers felt then it's a wonder they have any left.
We only live in Bolsterstone, and not a city slicker I thought it would be nice to try somewhere for a change. Never again. We will stick to the Castle - good food and a least Glynn knows how to look after his customers!

Visited the Strines Inn today, 5th March 2009, for a quiet lunch without the hassle of kids or husbands!
We found the staff extremely pleasant and helpful, the place had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The menu caters for a variety of tastes with homemade dishes. Prices are very reasonable considering the very large portion sizes.
We will definitely return and take our families with us.

Went to the Hillsborough Hotel last weekend and loved it. I didn't even know it was there. It's a real ale pub on Langsett Road - with great food.
Later that evening I found out there was a brewery downstairs and spent the rest of the night drinking 'Hillsborough Pale Ale' made by The Crown Brewery.
I have already asked if some friends want to come down and stay there.
Will definitely be making it a regular!

Good local feel. Great quiz night on Tuesdays, run by The Crowded House Community!

Strongly recommended by a couple of friends, I took my father, son and daughter for lunch. Apart from the waitress, who was lovely, and very helpful, we were all completely disappointed.
We wanted steak, which for some reason wasn't on the menu and so chose gammon, which was quite dry and served with the drab and not (or so it seemed, fresh vegetables, apart from the chips). It was very expensive for what it was and nobody enjoyed it.
The next week I cooked the same meal for the family, which was far tastier, the gammon succulent and enjoyed far more by everyone. Certainly wouldn't go there again.

Visited the Harlequin for the first time last Saturday, after a work colleague recommended it.
My main reason for going was that my husband is a big fan of Frank White (guitarist) who was playing live on the Saturday night.
I was pleasantly surprised, it's a real ale pub, the bar staff were real friendly and although the pub was very busy we got served quite quickly.
The atmosphere was friendly and the age group ranged from people in their twenties upwards.
Apparently there is a live turn on most Saturday nights.
Towards the end of the night the landlady brought out some hot nibbles and sandwiches for the customers, what a lovely end to the night.
Frank white was excellent along with the young lad on the keyboards.
I will definitely recommend the Harlequin to all my friends, and hopefully will be going back soon.

Don't know who wrote the last review but they must be on a different planet.
There is a good selection of beer, including a selection of real ales, which the landlord keeps in top quality and prices are the same as neighbouring pubs.
The food is also good quality, homely and plentiful. If you want posh you can go to Aston Hall. We eat there regularly and all the selections are tasty and provide good value for money.
The layout of the pub provides a kiddies room with games and a pool table, upstairs from that is a large display TV. In the main bar there are three areas, each with their own atmosphere. There's the main bar area for those who like to stand, a lounge area with plenty of seating and a third room which provides a quiet area.
The decor is typical for a village pub and the atmosphere is friendly, you'll find people of all ages in there, which I think is always a good sign. Overall a good pub to visit!

Just tried this pub out for the first time it has got some great bargains on for lager and beer but that's where the good things end. The landlord is very ignorant and seems as if he doesn't want to be there, the pub is so cold and not very clean, which is a shame because it is typical old-style pub, which with a bit of care could be a fantastic place to go for a drink.

Had another great meal at this pub - never been disappointed - they keep changing the menu every couple of months so you always have a varied choice. It gets very busy especially on Sundays so you may have to wait a short while for a table but its definitely worthwhile.
- Gill,
Had a great meal here last week.
Tried the belly pork from the specials board and it was fantastic.
My friend tried out the ostrich and he enjoyed that - he's a bit more adventurous than me!
Will certainly recommend it to my mates.
They have a good choice of real ales to satisfy us blokes - get the wife to drive so you can try out a few!
- Jason,
