Had a party here and it’s a perfect venue, we had around 70 people and there was more than enough space including the back room. The staff were lovely and provided a few drink deals and were really helpful with the setup of decorations. Would definitely recommend this place for any private event or party!

I liked this micro bar in this shop unit. Fairly spacious with a further room at the rear. Had a lovely pint of Abbeydale Daily Bread. One other real ale was available. Comfortable bar with good atmosphere. My boys liked the stuffed monkeys hanging from the ceiling.

What a cracking pub !! I needed some cheering up after my team got stuffed by Wednesday, and although surrounded by "Owl's" it was a friendly buzzing place. And to top it all, they served Caffreys which seems to have sadly disappeared over the last few years. Brilliant monkey posters and great music, which the locals were singing at the top of their voices too. Not sure what the blue haze was.....hahaha
