We went to have a drink there on Friday evening. Had a look at the menu, which included: Fish and chips ?14.25 Burger ?14.50 Sausage and mash ?14.00 We saw all these meals going past. They looked terrible. I had one of the very worst meals I've ever had in my life at the pre-refurbished Dog, but at least it wasn't this expensive! Also, so far as I can see, you would have to go all through the pub to get to the hotel reception, which seems a very odd layout. Anyway, the drinks were OK (albeit nearly a tenner for two pints, but sadly that seems to be par for the course round here these days) and the place doesn't seem to have changed much, in the front bar anyway, which is good. ETA: I've just had a look at the reviews on TripAdvisor. Oh dear, oh dear.
