Wonderful ambience, comfy chairs, clean toilets, convenient location, I'd definitely come back! It was my first time visiting. I'd wanted to try this pub for ages. There were a few people around on a sunny Friday afternoon. There's an upstairs seating area too. Love the big windows and natural light. They had the cricket on TV and pop music playing. Friendly staff and loads of character in the decor. Much busier on a Saturday afternoon and the football adds much more noise. We played scrabble and ate. The mango sorbet was great.
