1st visit and was not disappointed. Great food and very friendly staff
Brilliant local pub full of interest people and lots of history. Great place to chill out and chit chat with the locals. Customer service is very good and all staff are friendly and quick. Come visit and experience it for your self
A great little road side pub. Usually busy on a friday with workers going for the odd drink afterwork. And then followed by a karaoke most fridays. Staff and landlord very friendly a great meeting place.
Very 'olde wordly' with two real ale hand pumps. Hasn't had a make over in the last 30 years but adds to the ambiance of the place. Would only recommend for a quick pit-stop
