As far as local pubs can go, this has to be up there. I read the reviews on here before going and was slightly concerned although they did seem to mainly refer to a previous landlord. I met some friends there last Tuesday and found the place to be clean, open and inviting. We were greeted on arrival by the bar staff who seemed nice enough. It made me think the bad reviews were for a generation passed. Tuesday night, it turns out is quiz night and the place soon filled up with locals aiming to test their general knowledge with friends over a beer.

Thank you to all the staff for the...
Read moreGreat little pub! We went for a Saturday, the owner found us a place to sit even when it looks full. We enjoyed our evening with the entertainment which that night was some great vocals from derby school of music.
The staff were great and the entertainment was first class my only pitiful would be the car park. Steep and small makes for teeth biting maneuvers. But there is plenty of room on the roads outside the pub if you like me and don't mind a minute or two walk in.
Try it out! Especially on a Saturday as I'm told they always have great entertainment. We would both go back and bring family...
