  • "Only given 4 or 5 beer options by server, asked if any more, replies no."
  • "Decent pub with good atmosphere but the last couple of times I went there I couldn't enjoy my favourite Pilsner Urquell which is my main reason to visit this place - both times they were ran out of it, unfortunately."
  • "However, the first 6 beers we ordered, yes 6!, were all off."
  • "Unfortunately, the bar-lady said I could not taste all of the beers as they only had limited amounts of some of the beers on tap."

Staff Service

  • "Bar service was very good, hardly had to wait for our order to be taken and served."
  • "The staff is very nice though and it's a busy pub in general."

  • "Staff were friendly from booking to bar service, and they were happy for me to run up a tab which was helpful."
  • "Very attentive staff, bubbly terrace and good starters & desserts though."
  • "Staff really good and friendly."

Cons:

  • "Staff don’t know what they are selling or talking about."
  • "Had engagement drinks here and the staff are incredibly rude."
  • "Service was terrible! Not only did my friend get drinks spilt on him but we had to beg for our food."

  • "We were told that table service was not available due to shortage of staff when 7 of them were chatting behind the bar."
  • "The service was also very bad. I don’t know if it’s just because they were busy, but it took ages to get the attention of any waiters."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food is great, atmosphere is always on point."
  • "Food was reasonably priced and in my opinion superior to what you would expect from 'pub grub'."
  • "Their burgers and sausages barbeque is fantastic."
  • "Surprisingly good kitchen, ordered 2 items from Sunday Roast Menu and they were very delicious with variety of tasty roasted vegetables as the side."
  • "The food was excellent."
  • "The craft beer selection was very good, my ‘nourish plate’ with halloumi was totally delicious."
  • "Had a fantastic fish and chips."

Cons:

  • "We stopped off here for Sunday lunch it was the worst food we have ever had will never go back."
  • "More disappointing was when the burgers arrived - they were well below par - a little dry and uninspiring with tasteless fries."
  • "The food was really disappointing though. Tasty enough but £14 for a few bits of butternut squash and frisee wasn't what I'd call good value for money."
  • "Went for a sunday roast, had the traditional beef and the beef cut tasted cheap and far too chewy and stringy."
  • "The Christmas menu was not the best I have had."
  • "The burgers were awful - possibly the worst burger I’ve ever had in a pub."
  • "Not good value for £18!!"
