Cons:

• "The inside was spacious and although it was relatively busy whilst we were there we still felt like we had privacy during our visit."
• "The building looks a little tired on the outside and not dissimilar inside."
• "This is adjusted for covid: to eat, there is a marquee open facing the pub, with a couple of burners. If you time it wrong, you get to sit in the open."
