"The community spirit is strong always."
"Very friendly and spacious pub with space inside and outside."
"The pub was busy but well-maintained."
"The pub ambient is nice."
Cons:
"Horrible atmosphere staff don't stop moaning and it takes ages to get served when you go to the bar they walk away a proper pub would serve a customer and not ignore them and make them queue till they go out of the door."
"It has a lot of flies in the place, so you can't enjoy your meal."
"Has got very student type lately. Sometimes intimidating with a bouncer on the door."
"Would be a much nicer experience going there if the staff didn't act like children. The screaming and shouting is very annoying."
"Sometime rough at weekends as people seems out of control or too drunk."
"Public house was full of infant children that were left to run up and down and make loads of noise."
"A very bad experience. I only interacted with the security man but that was enough."

"The service wasn’t great, the chap serving me was more interested in the banter going on behind the bar."

"Slow staff. Didn't even get a call I help you or thank you when I paid."

"The Patty itself was burnt and didn't look that appetising."
"Burger was disgusting. Ordered the food with 2 friends. All different types of food. Burger, Sausage and mash and some ribs and a pizza. About 5 mins later food came to the table. Won't eat from there again."
"Food here never comes out hot."
"Most of the food was overcooked and rubbery, burnt gammon and broken yolk on the egg, looked a mess."
Cleanliness & Maintenance
Pros:
"Toilets well clean, at least."
"They were sweeping rugs at the entrance and cleaning the garden to the front of leaves and cigarettes."
"Great staff keeping the place clean and tidy and the tables quickly cleared of empties and plates etc."
"Very nice little Wetherspoon near the station, just popped in for breakfast, very clean homely feel, staff were really friendly and polite!"
Cons:
"Menus and tables need a clean up badly."
"I really enjoy the drinks and food here, and the prices are great! But every time I come here I need to clean my own table, even after the waiter comes with my first drink, and can see how the table is clearly dirty, nothing is done about it."
"Could do with a big clean up. And move the toilets to downstairs because it's very dangerous to spend a penny after you have had a drink. Especially if you are old."
"The portions of nachos are smaller than any I’ve seen in my life."
