Cons:

• "Only because of its position 4/10."
• "If it wasn't for this I doubt I would come here."
• "Was ok have been to better pubs in the area food was ok but service is slow but wouldn't recommend the crab sandwich as for the price it was awful you can get better food else where."
• "Very over priced drinks which they can only just about justify with the view."
• "The front of house is appalling. We arranged to have lunch but were told that the kitchen didn't open for another hour."

• "Half term Sunday and no food, need someone to crack the whip here, manager has zero customer service just gets sassy."
