Used to come in years ago but got barred for having an opinion, so stayed away for a long time. Since Tod and Holly have taken over, it’s miles better. Easily some of the best landlords and landladies to walk through the doors — welcoming, fair, and they’ve completely turned the place around. Proper local again
Good place for a pre-game pint. Good price albeit representative of quality of pint. Would have liked some real ale. Friendly staff and quick service despite being busy.
Started playing darts there with ladies team on Thursday's there was a buskers night on. Very loud lots of people there. Certainly changed from last time I was in there.
