    Great place with good crown and comfortable setting for everyone! There is roof terrace and beer garden (haven’t explored yet) Came for Wednesday tacos (£2.5ea) and had tasty food with great 🍺 IPA Very clean and everything tidied up at earliest opportunity 👌🏼 👍🏼 They have stand up comedy too which we may check out next time.

    Table was reserved but no one knew where it was, told us to just find a table but there was only one right by the toilets. Turns out someone was using our table until the reserved sign time and we spotted them move the sign onto a shelf at the time of our booking so they wouldn’t get kicked off our table. Went for cocktails and tacos on Friday for “cocktail club” and they didn’t have any of the right ingredients to do the cocktails listed on the website so had to go for spirit and mixer. Had no chips, which is half of their menu other than tacos. The food and drink we did get was fine, but…

    spacious airy interior, pleasing amount of wood . Metal sculpture of a dog attached through a table is an unusual touch. the casks mounted on the back bar look a little weird but hey I guess this place has it's charms. Cask beer selection was above average and the two beers I tried were in good condition . Glassware was clean and the pricing was standard for the area. hardly spit and sawdust mind..

    Best Mexican food in town 🌮 fresh ingredients all time. My Mexican boyfriend approved it. Has been a hard searching for the best taste and everything it’s here! Highly recommended. Our third time here and just got better and better 👏🏻
