Great local pub with good pub style food, staff friendly and helpful if going there to eat go upstairs where its quieter and you can have a conversation without screaming at each other as it is quite noisy and lively on the ground floor. A pub that is highly recommended and a fantastic local place to go.

We felt, that in particular, the table reserved for us (6) was really, more appropriate, to seating 4 people.

I don’t think I’ve ever sent back food in my 36 years of existence, but last night the 300g steak was honestly inedible. It had the most bitter/acidic taste to it, was cooked pretty much blue when asked for medium rare and it arrived cold. After sending it back another steak arrived, this time completely overcooked and still inedible with the most bitter taste. Honestly concerning if that’s the quality of meat that you’re dishing out.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your recent experience with our steak. This does not reflect our usual standards, and we have passed on your note to our kitchen staff to ensure it does not occur again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to serve you better in the future! 💙
