Original review: For some reason they never have the full menu. It's also a bit expensive for the food they serve. Nice place but a little off for few things.

Edited: Adding a star on the original review because I like that they responded to my original one. I wanted to explain better what I think about the food, because I didn't explain myself at all. I've been there 3 times recently and they never had the full menu, and they explained why (issues with suppliers, which is pretty common at the moment). The prices are very good, that is true. Most of the menus include a free drink. You can easily eat and drink with less than 10£. But I think that they could do better with the portions and the quality of the food. The burgers, the chips and the fish are on the small side, and nothing special. There are pubs in city center which offer a much better quality at a just slightly higher price. Anyway, the place is nice, staff is helpful, they show sports on tv and even kindly agreed to change to the match I would have liked on the tv next to me. They have a room for playing games and a beer garden, which wasn't open for the weather but I think it's a great thing. Overall I would recommend the place, but think they can improve and get...

Great wee pub, my family & I are always in and have been coming for years. All the staff are brilliant especially Fiona who is just the best!!!

Unfortunately though Adam (I think his name is) needs some training in how to speak to customers. Came today (18/3/25) for breakfast (there would have been 9 of us) but first had to deliver parcels at the Evri locker adjoining the building. Couldn’t get parked as there was a delivery lorry there. Quickly parked up on the pavement within the car park and Adam came out shouting that I couldn’t park there and that the car park was for customers only. A really rude and dismissive attitude. I also have a parking disabled badge. I told him I was using the locker but he ignored me and walked away so didn’t get the chance to tell him we actually were customers! I drove out to park elsewhere until the lorry left but Adam shut the car parking gate after we drove out. Really odd behaviour and put us off coming in. Me and my family ended up going elsewhere for breakfast and...
