    Ethan was a lovely bloke and so inviting, made us feel welcome all night. The place has a great old school pub vibe to it which a lot of pubs don’t these days, plus two pool tables which is rare as you are lucky to find one at most pubs nowadays. All in all a great pub and experience, will definitely be back again!! Lots of love, Tynan & Julz xx

    Best parma I’ve had - crunchy panko crumb, chips and a delicious salad. The open fireplace provides a nice ambiance in winter.

    Booked a table for dinner and drinks for a large group of guests for 7.30, however, was never informed that kitchen closes at 8pm and that not one person was able to eat at the pub. The lack of care by bar staff was completely rude and where we were initially placed did not allow more than 5 people to eat. Not impressed and therefore, loved on to another place that could cater to our needs.

    The steak was like a rubber boot. My friends and I asked for medium rare steaks and they came out harder than concrete. Washed it down with the flattest beers on the planet.

    I have been to a lot of other venues on a Steak night and had Breyer food, better value and a much better experience. This experience was just about average.
