A cool pub that has good music and atmosphere. Bar staff were very friendly and the crowd seemed nice. I appreciated the seating. I wouldn’t call the pints here cheap but there is a decent selection on tap. The downstairs area is really chill with lots of interesting decor. The upstairs space is nice and with better ventilation.
I rated the food low because it was practically inedible for me. I don’t particularly like spice but I can handle it and my partner loves spicy food. But it was too spicy for both of us.

But this review is about the pizzas they've just started doing.
God, they're good. Chewy wholemeal sourdough bases, fresh mozzarella (made on site from local cows milk) and great toppings. Veggie and vegan options.
The best is the Napoli: anchovies, capers, mozzarella, parmigiano and San Marzano tomatoes - a savoury delight.
And the ever changing specials are always inventive.
Served Wednesday to Saturday 4 -...
