Had a meal here for a friend’s birthday celebration and it was quite nice having a spacious room for the birthday guests. Really nice vibe throughout, doesn’t have the pub feel. Food was good, I had a Caesar salad and my husband had the vegan burger. The only thing we didn’t like was the way in which the meals came out- staff would yell out names of the meals and people would put up their hands if it was theirs. I have not ever experienced such service before. All other restaurants, cafes and pubs I’ve eaten at there has been a more professional system of serving food to the customer. Update few years later: Had lunch here and it was the best fish & chips meal I’ve had! The portion size was very generous.

Hate to leave a bad review, but this bar has potential so I feel it needs to be said that this place really needs a thorough deep clean. It was SO dirty, i moved spots twice in the beer garden - which has a cool vibe really, if it weren’t for the months of sticky liquor and beer residue on all the couches and seats. The cushions I didn’t even want to touch and the tables were so gross I instantly regretted my decision to have lunch here. You would think cleanliness would be at an all time high, especially given the times we are living in and the state of the world. 🤦🏽♀️ I mean, just wipe things down. It ain’t that hard. PS food was okay. Used to be much better.

Atmosphere of the pub is amazing and really hits the nautical theme. Beer garden was incredible and a great place to come drink. The food however was a let down, looked great on the menu but didn't hit the mark. The squid in the tapas definitiely tasted like it came out of a freezer. The lamb cutlets and the porterhouse steak were cooked on a dirty grill and tainted the taste, was also overcooked to our selection. The service of the staff was great though! Kitchen is the only thing letting this place down! Will be back to drink in the beer garden but won't be back to eat there until foods at a better quality.

Relaxed atmosphere with a nautical theme. Saturday night crowd was a mix of young and old, with several large friend and family groups. Chef’s special menu and the regular menu offered a wide range of classics like steaks and lamb shanks, pub favourites such as schnitzels, burgers & pizzas as seafood laksa, a Moroccan style pork fillet and lamb chops. Portions are generous and plated nicely. Service was prompt and cheerful. Oh, mustn’t forget the extensive wine list by the glass and bottle.
