Lovely family and dog friendly pub with a generous sized beer garden and great food. Very welcoming and great service!
The pub is under new management and is not serving food at the moment: apparently, they are waiting for a permit from the council to do this. As far as I could see, nothing stating this online or on signage outside the pub: the latter indicates that food is served. Poor wheelchair access. When I tried to phone the pub to check availability of food and disabled access before going there, I couldn’t get through. This pub must do better!
Great atmosphere, live music was brilliant, good pint 🍺
Great place to go. Food is excellent, freshly cooked , and service with a smile. Very reasonable prices. They keep a very good pint, and there is plenty of choice. Regular entertainment. Quiz nights are great fun. Comedy nights are brilliant. The atmosphere is good , the pub cat is very friendly as is the dog, dogs are made very welcome and the fires are just what you need on cold ,dark evenings. Highly recommended.
