Atmosphere & Decor

  • "In a good location for pre-theatre/night out drinks."

  • "Venue is immaculate, During the Sun you can sit outside in an enclosed area. Of an evening you can stay indoors with modern ambient music and lighting."

Cons:

  • "We were put in a long narrow room, with no music, it was dark, some of the light bulbs were blown."

Value

  • "Went for Bottomless Brunch - great value for unlimited drinks and a good selection of food items."
  • "The bowl of chips with garlic mayo was a large portion as were the kids meals so those were quite good value for money."
  • "It cost us the price of a usual meal for one person and was more than enough food for us both, would 100% recommend!"
  • "Excellent food for a more than fair price."
  • "Decent surroundings, friendly staff, and reasonably priced drinks."

Cons:

  • "OK vegan food, although portion sizes are borderline for the price."
  • "Bloody expensive. This place will charge you double the price of a normal pub."
  • "Drinks are stated at buy one get one free but they are £10 each! Over prices for the type of cocktail and for the area."
  • "They charge £5.15 for a small can of alcohol-free lager."
  • "Overall I'd say if you're looking for an inexpensive casual night this isn't the right venue for you."
