    Great little pub with excellent food and drink. The staff are friendly and hard working. At peak times they could probably benefit from an extra pair of hands. For what it offers and the prices charged, this place never fails to impress me. The only criticism is that, at times, it gets just too busy.

    Great night out. Food was tasty and ample portioned. The bar was busy and getting served took a while at one point, but on the whole 5 stars.

    Food amazing as always. Was very busy as expected but no members of staff just said oh give me a minute and we will sort you shortly, just looked at us and yes they was very busy running round, but just in future would be nice to be acknowledged. But overall food brilliant, staff were friendly once you get served.

    It's always a good meal here, the only downside sassy on the 2 seater table in the restaurant, and everybody kept catching my chair walking past. Will not put us off returning again.
