Additional information

I paid a visit to the Globe early Oct 2007, their previous chef had left and they were not serving food other than offering crisps!
This may have previously had a good reputation, but I would await a new recommendation before mooring there again!
I've just read that the Globe Inn has reopened (April 2014), but can't confirm that they are serving food again.
