    Good service and food was well done. Basic pub style menu and great midweek specials. Not too crowded or noisy so we could actually have a conversation without yelling!! Unlike some other venues!

    They were super busy and understaff which contributed to the lack of service.. the staff working were doing their best but they were run off their feet. They had sold out of what I originally ordered which was disappointing. Food was underwhelming and the cocktails weren’t nice at all..

    Went wanting a steak but they didn’t have any so we opted for our usual brisket (the best brisket in town) and a side of the world’s best mashed potatoes. Pair it with the legendary bbq sauce and it was the best meal ever 😍

    Quick seating to our tables, friendly staff, nice barmen who made our dining out experience enjoyable. Easily one of the largest, filing BBQ Brisket platter for its price. Food was out quickly and already well seasoned to eat straight away. Always an enjoyable night out.

    We had an absolutely lovely experience here! The service was incredible and we felt like the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time! In particular Rob made sure that we were comfortable and satisfied the whole evening! I would recommend and will visit again !
