Lovely clean pub with good beer. No food, dogs allowed. Very disappointed we had to leave at 7 as our 15yo wasn't allowed to stay. Didn't feel well friendly.
Great pub. Cosy, clean and tidy. Friendly landlord. Only problem is no under 12s allowed after 4pm. That’s their right and no doubt a number of their regulars like it. Just it’s a bit annoying if you’ve got an under 12. I would have thought they could align it with the 7pm cut off for under 18s. But, like I say, it’s their choice and I don’t have a problem with it.
Really nice traditional pub with a decent selection of real ales a pool table a dart board nice friendly vibe from thestaff and other punters . Perfect pub to pop whilst on a walk along the canal and dodge the rain. I'm sure I'll be back soon :)
Been past so many times and thought I'd pop in. Didn't disappoint! Fab service, great pint, definitely worth a return visit 😀
Relaxed, informal, and dog friendly. Car parking limited.
