A proper good old fashioned Pub, fantastic atmosphere, all the Staff and the Landlady were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going again when we are back next year.

Nice quiet local pub, independently owned, great beers, excellent staff and service. No pumping music or TVs so ypu can actually have a conversation! Highly recommended.

Absolute gem of a pub. The draught beer is always Quality Street. If I could, i'd give the Robin 6 stars. Would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely old pub that was a surprise for us to find and be as nice as it is. Friendly helpful staff in a traditional local old pub. Food served 1200-1400 week days looks and sounds lovely having an English and Italian menu. Food is cooked on sight with the menu changing each week. Nice selection of drinks and the ice cold beer glasses of each beer is a nice touch. Have been several times after finding it and would recommend for a quiet place to catch up with friends. This is a real traditional pub.
