    The cocktails were so refreshing , they had a nice variety of gin, vodka and whiskey cocktails. The food was made with fresh ingredients & so yummy . My husband and I had the kale beet salad and the fish & chips, which were just perfect.

    Had an amazing night in The Storyteller at the music bingo for Valentines. A really lovely touch was receiving a beautiful rose upon arrival. The staff in the ST are incredible! Would highly recommend.

    We came to the Storyteller pub after our wedding at the registry office nearby- everyone (including the kids) had such an amazing time - will remember this place forever, thanks so much for the hospitality

    Had a team night out. Good value pub food, great an attentive service. Fast service and everyone got there food approximately same time, good for a group of 10. Fairly quiet. Loved the fact there was not 90db music streaming on speakers, there are so few pubs nowadays where you can actually hold a conversation. Would go again!

    Great food and great pints! The chicken wings were particularly good. The staff really looked after us. The pub was busy with a great atmosphere.

    Really great food and great service. Our table was booked for 6 pm and we arrived late as the so it was given away . The staff acted promptly and got us a table 15 mins later . They apologised for giving the table away and gave us a free pint on the manager. It was lovely touch .

    We both chose the burger as recommended to us and boy did we hit the jackpot! Juicy and full of flavour served with delicious chips. How to make something really amazing out of the humble burger. Will be back.
