  • "Awful place air con on in December and when I complained the woman in charge couldn't have cared less."
  • "Give this place a miss, I am a great believer in giving credit where it is due and I must say I do use Weatherspoon pubs locally where I live. This one though has some serious problems, first with lack of staff waited at the bar with three other people for ten minutes before being served."
  • "Gave one star as nothing lower. Ever since the previous manager left (Vash), this establishment has become a dive."
  • "We ordered two breakfasts but both we left. Pancakes cold, sausage cold, eggs that were ordered with both meals could have bounced off the plate they were that hard."
