A bit of a random Thursday visit but so glad we made the effort. A really great gastropub serving a Tex Mex inspired menu, some interesting and some tasty beers and ciders (we didn’t hit the Gin offerings on this visit….but we will 😉).

From the moment we entered, the venue felt very warm and welcoming and even though it was one of their busier weekly steak night evenings, they managed to find us a table but there were loads reserved. They had a great selection of ales and allowed us to try a couple before making a selection. The food menu was mouth watering but on this visit, we kept things simple and tried their Tex Mex with pulled pork loaded chips and “The Sloppy One” chilli burger with some onion rings on the side.

The food arrived fairly quickly even though they were busy. Whilst we really wanted to dip into a few of their starters, we are glad we did not as the main courses were large and more than enough food for a mid week dinner.

The rump steak in the Tex Mex was cooked to perfection and beautifully seared. It really was a great cut of meat and so flavoursome. The chilli that came with it was nicely spiced and a great compliment. The loaded fries delivered on flavour and the bbq pulled pork really added to the meat feast. The burger didn’t disappoint either and definitely lived up to the name. Such great flavours. Even the onion rings were lovely and crispy.

All the food tasted amazing and we have already started looking at the menu to see what we will be ordering next time…mmm slow roast lamb shoulder…

Great venue, lovely staff and amazing food….what’s not to like?
