  • "Enjoyable busy pub. Go there because you like cheap drinks, acceptable good edible value food.... And the buzz of a decent vibrant everyday pub!"

  • "Shame though its the buzzing of jittery adolescent teens pretending they can handle 2 pints of Stella and a packet of crisps because they've seen it on TV."

  • "Its nice, but local rif-raf drag it back down."
  • "Worst experience in a pub since lockdown lifted. Not surprised really. Awful chain of pubs run by a scum bag owner who clearly only cares about maximising profit and no regard for health of staff or punters."
  • "Pub itself is always unclean, tables need a good wash, bar area always untidy, absolutely filthy dirty pub."

Food Quality

Pros:
