What a transformation, from a cliquey and generally cold place to a lovely warm atmosphere and while not good for business, quiet too!
We came on a Thursday to take advantage of the 2 for £15 mains, a good selection. I had gammon and my partner had scampi, the portion sizes were perfect not too small and neither too big.
The food was great, gammon nicely grilled, with attention paid to charring the fat cap to make it much more pleasant to eat! The scampi was of great quality and wonderfully crispy. The chips were fine, not outstanding but not bad by any means, perfectly edible and a good filler upper.
My only genuine criticism of the food was the peas were firm and dry, but with a small volume of food shifting on the night you can’t be too upset about them keeping peas warm, but this is the reason for four stars on food.
For dessert I had the Jaffa doughnut sundae and my partner had the fun fair ice cream dessert, both were lovely if a small amount overpriced.
The highlight of our visit was the lovely James who served us, was happy to answer my questions and seemed genuinely happy to be there and be serving people. Really nice lad with top notch customer service.

They eventually reluctantly put it on a TV which was located in a position that if anyone went to the bar they blocked the view of the TV for...
Read moreA group of us visited this pub on a Saturday night. We chose a table where we could sit together but we told loudly and quite rudely that we were in ' someone else's seat' . We moved elsewhere but for the next hour we were stared at and talked about quite obviously. It is clearly a locals' pub and strangers are not welcome. Choice of beers was very limited. Ladies toilets were okay but the Mens toilets weren't very clean, according to the men in our group. Not...
