Great pub, was staying at the Hilton (overnight business stay) and drove past this pub on route. Stopped for a pint and stayed for food - amazing portions/quality and very reasonably priced. £5.70 for a pint of Peroni also! Would recommend!

Had a delicious dinner, just Fish & Chips but I saw Burgers and more on other plates looking good as well. The bar has an authentic look - as far I can value it as foreigner. I‘ll come again. Thanks!

Nice little pub. Had the fish n chips with mushy peas and a side order of onion rings. It was very tasty, though the fish wasn't that big but pretty average size compared to others. No complaints and would definitely go again.

Lovely local pub with a solid outdoor seating area. Decent little food menu served until 9pm and Peroni on tap, can't complain. Personally I'd love some more 'comfy sofa/fireplace' seats, but that's just my preference for pubs! Can get a bit busy from time to time (but where doesn't).

Stopped in for a drink after a long walk and decided to have food. We had the chicken and beef roasts. Really delicious! Meat was flavourful and well cooked with a great selection of veg. Yorkshire was made from scratch which was both fab and difficult to find often! Best part was the gravy and potatoes were the stars! Sticky toffee pud sounded good but we were too full. Next time!
