Visiting from SE London and meeting up with a friend and this is one of the friendliest bars I’ve ever visited. Owners introduced themselves on entry and table service ensued with great discussion around the beers available. A small range of lovely Belgian beers was available this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed. Can’t fault this place in any way.

Called in for a few drinks before dinner, it was busy and had a good atmosphere. There is an amazing selection of beers, ciders, cocktails and other drinks. The staff were great, really warm and friendly and very knowledgeable about all the drinks. Katie made us some lovely old fashioned's. Will definitely be back.

Although a bit expensive you 100% get what you pay for because its not just for the drinks but there unique selection of beers/ales, wines, ciders etc etc and knowledge they provide to each customer. Im not used to table service in pubs but its done so well in here, the staff go in detail on what offerings they have per what you like etc Wow... fantastic pub and I highly recommend going in here on the occasion 👌

This has been here for a while, I have had a gift pack bought for me from them, which was excellent, but this is the first time I actually went here. It won't be the last! Welcoming from the outset, we were shown to our table, and everything was brought to us. The beer/ciders were absolutely first class. What more can I say? I hope they go from strength to strength. A lovely experience.

Went here for whisky tasting from around the British Isles. Hosted by Alison, who was really knowledgeable and passionate about her whisky. My son and I had a great time learning so much more about the aromas and taste- this will make getting tipsy/drunk so much more pleasurable 🤪😊 Definitely recommend this lovely friendly micro pub for not just the whisky but also the choice of real cask ales.
