First time here, got a recommendation on Facebook. The carpark is large and easy to park in.
We are outside due to restrictions. There are 2 areas to sit outside. There's tables out the front of the pub, these do suffer slightly from road noise. The other alternative is the covered area around the back. This offers chairs and tables which a slightly quirky. There is a couple of heaters on the wall which are nice in cold weather.
The service was really quick, efficient and friendly. The menu is fairly good old fashioned pub grub, and is well priced. A very welcome change to some of the vastly over priced places that are around.
Food was really good quality, hot and came quickly. The deserts were just as nice and tasty.
A good range of beers, ciders and wine were on offer.
Very impressed and definitely...

Various tables of various sizes chatting about their week with vigour. Thank you for never changing and the warm hug you get when you...

Forget foams, smears, dehydrated this that and the other, you come here for a decent Chilli, Fish & Chips and Sausages & Mash. Huge value for money - 2 mains and 2 alcohol free beers for £27! Friendly staff and a pub with regulars, it's a proper destination pub but not for the usual reasons... You'll come here for a no nonsense pub experience and long may...
