Lovely warn welcoming pub. Our family come here often , bar staff treat my dad like family, they walk him to his taxi each night and ensure he is always safe and looked after . They are fair and friendly with all customers and the out looks and smells much better since new landlady has taken over
Great pub. I went to watch a premier league game. The bar staff was very welcoming and great to the elderly locals. Would definitely go back again. Thanks
