Roast Beef was excellent! Table set ups were a bit all over the place, but it’s a pub, so fair enough. Mulled wine was also terrific!

We hadn't been to this pub for about 3 years. It was really quiet last time we went. It really local to two of my friends who work for the nhs. We were thinking we would have a relaxing night out. It's changed so much. I loved it so buzzing and great music. I loved my choice of food. One of my friends is a veggie and didn't like the veggie burger. A bit of a strange colour. The kitchen was closing or nearly closed when we were ordering our dessert. but they did do us a pudding but my other friend had a stone cold custard with her pudding again I lucked out with my choice. The security staff were really friendly.
