    Popped in whilst visiting the area, noticed good Google ratings so thought I'd pay a visit, very traditional pub, plenty of comfort seating and a relaxed place to enjoy a pint, lovely pint of beer was nicely kept 👍.

    Fantastic traditional pub with good range of drinks and food. Top class friendly service from Josie and Andy as always when we visit family in the area. Good for sports enthusiasts with games room and multiple TV screens.

    It's a no frills place. A local pub basically! How most pubs were 30-40 years ago and that's not a bad thing. Service was good and everyone was minding their own business enjoying a drink. Would visit again.

    Nice 'old fashioned' pub - with a very good pool table (above the standard of many I play on nowadays). Bar staff are very welcoming. A god pub without all the bells & whistles!

    Good good jukebox, reasonably priced drinks but some of the people who were in there were staring at my partner and I in a not very welcoming way when we weren't causing trouble. The staff however were nice. I reckon a music event could be staged here
