Cons:
"Food nice, bit too busy in the whole of the pub and the little room on right felt quite close to other tables."
"There's a lot of wood in here for noise to bounce off so if you are hard of hearing you might struggle when it gets busier."
"The only down side is the taxidermy mount on the wall, it’s outdated and not great to look at, especially in the current era."
"Even though the pub was pretty quiet we were out in a separate room which meant it lacked ambience for our meal."
