Perfect Sunday lunch as ever, used to live around the corner so this lovely pub was my local so it was nice to visit for the first Sunday lunch for months and months and as ever it did not disappoint. You know you are in a great pub when there are still staff there from your first visit over six years ago. Great atmosphere, dog friendly, child friendly, family friendly and fabulous food and drink 😊

Probably the best option for your local go to Pub with decent price and top notch food. Not to mention the amazing design, atmosphere and design of the pub just gives you that ‘homey’ and ‘cozy’ feeling. Don’t be eluded by their food portion size, as the menu itself is amazing 👍! P.S: My only complaint is that their bike racks are not very practical. I mean I do appreciate a pub that is at least providing a rack to begin with, but Its just awkwardly positioned and not very practical to make use of it.

Great Sunday roast, best Yorkshire puddings we’ve had in a while! The service is great, and the place is really nice too. We’ll definitely be going back!

We went on a recommendation from a local and so glad we did, we enjoyed everything from Guinness with black current, Chambord cheese, fish and chips which you must have in England, espresso martinis were outstanding. Valerie and the manger Reese were outstanding in every way so much so that when he mentioned to come back for Sunday roast we went and he had a table waiting for us, loved the special attention we got and if you go to London it’s around the corner from Beefeaters distillery so don’t miss it and say hi from me lol!

My girlfriend and I went on a Sunday afternoon. This was the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had, hands down. The portion was satisfying, staff attentive and friendly, and prices more than reasonable! Great atmosphere. This place is a gem. Highly recommended.
