Cannot speak more highly of the whole team working at the Merchant last night. A challenging few hours for the staff with a young female falling rather unwell onsite. The duty of care and proactive response shown should be standard but it is not always the case in pubs/bars especially on a busy Saturday night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the best outcome possible for the individual. Their patience and kindness didn’t go unnoticed. A massive thank you to the team, will definitely be returning to soak up the good drinks and enjoyable live music in the future.

Charlie was in charge and helping my partner and I who only popped in for a drink. He was amazing, we landed up staying for another 6 drinks, a starter , a main and a desert! All his recommendations which turned out to be 10/10 and would literally come back here just to have Charlie’s unbelievable service, professionalism, friendliness and ‘going the extra mile’ attitude again! I loved every minute! Thank you Charlie!!

Charlie the bartender was fantastic, just knew exactly when to recommend something; saw we were out of napkins and just brought them over, needed another drink he was there to ask. Just an all round top bloke and really made the place such a fantastic experience. Charlie you’re the best, we’ll be back!

Great bar. The food is good, the atmosphere after work is very pleasant, they have events with live bands, show football (that i dont enjoy but a lot of people do), and is overall very pleasant. Very extensive drink menu as well.

Didn’t expect to come here but glad that we did. Popped in for a catch up and drinks and we had a great time. They have a good selection of cocktail drinks, and their sweet potato fries has an interesting taste. It’s a nice pub with plenty of seats inside and outside.
