    Absolutely fantastic experience. There was a lovely buzz to the place and a real sense of coziness when you walk in. Service was efficient, friendly and smooth. The food was excellent, I had the chicken and ham pie which was exceptional. Probably the best pie I’ve ever had. Also the chunky chips are spectacular. Brilliant work team!
