Under new management this past year or more, the place, the food and the atmosphere all make it worth a visit. With a homely lounge bar, beer garden and sports bar. Street parking and a large car park nearby, proximity to the River, The Abbey church, the English Bridge and other places of interest. Walking distance from the town and close to supermarkets and a cinema. This pub has everything including a very friendly landlord. Highly recommended. The year's anniversary of the new management and it is going from strength to strength. Musical entertainment, the monthly quiz and a great atmosphere tonight. I've just called in for a late lunch and a quick daytime pint and I had some good, no nonsense food. A pint of Butty Bach shandy, I know sacrilege, was very tasty and not too sweet. I had the Cumberland sausage, mash & peas, gravy boat to add as reqd. Very tasty all round with three large sausages. For dessert I had the apple pie and custard. A lattice pastry crust, caramelized and full of flavour with custard, again served on the side was creamy and more than enough. My meal was finished off with a black coffee, ( with a splash of milk and a chocolate ) and like the other courses it was served, as I prefer, at my pace, not too rushed. Free WiFi, friendly staff and a steady flow of customers. TV available in the beer garden and sports bar, outside seating, again in the garden or at the front of the pub and 3 hours parking opposite the pub. A thoroughly relaxing and pleasant experience that I would recommend on the way back from town or after a stroll by the nearby river.
