    Only real complaint was that the beer was so cloudy it should never have been allowed to leave the bar.

    The table was not booked when we arrived but luckily they had a table free. We waited 40 mins for the food and 3 out of 5 dishes were not edible ( one burger burnt, 2 fish undercooked).

    This is a great pub Great food and atmosphere though was slightly subdued due to COVID restrictions. I’ve been going since it was The Midland in the early 80’s

    Went for food, a few days before the nation wide lockdown. Staff were friendly, abs just chatty enough without being overbearing. Food was excellent. Had a lovely time.
