There is a wide array of televised sporting events on as well as pub games bingo and karaoke the owners are amazing nothing is to much trouble and really make you feel welcome and encourage you to get involved I feel so lucky to have this as my local pub”

“Back to the way pubs used to be, there was a real sense of welcome on arrival, and also a lot of looks from the locals as I was a new face. I instantly got talking to the guy on the stool next to me followed by another local who also seemed keen to socialise. Quite a few in the big room watching football, a few people to the sides reading books and the papers. The fact its attached to a restaurant lends itself to staying for that extra drink, and taking a meal home to appease the wife! Really nice bar and environment, it's back to how pubs used to be, makes a really refreshing change.”

“Did not stay, But if rooms are if similar standard to food and drink, they must be good. We had a tremendous lunch for 6. Always excellent,will be going back. I forgot my fleece and grey put it to one side and it was there early evening when I went back, thanks!”

“Fantastic pub and amazing food with the most wonderful host!! The bar staff are fantastic and go above and beyond in everything they can do to make you feel welcome!!

“We went for the Sunday roast. The quality and quantity of the food was very good. While waiting for the mains we tried the whitebait and chilli chipolatas and they were amazing, indeed I think I'll be popping in for these starters and a beer more often. The service was also friendly, relaxed and professional.”

“What an amazing pub and eatery! Been in a few times,the new chef has some tricks up his sleeves , had the steak burger and my girlfriend had the lasagne, probably the least daring choice on the menu and still blew us away! 100% recommend eating here, stayed for a few hours afterwards for drinks too! Staff were brilliant too! Highly recommend!”
