I don't really know where to start. There was an attitude as soon as we walked into the place. The atmosphere wasn't very nice. We waited ages at the bar before being served by the woman behind the bar who didn't look like she wanted to serve anybody. It was shocking to learn later that she was the manager! we sat down to eat. We had reserved the table for 3.30. no one came with any menu's. after we searched the place we finally found some. when we went to order the food they had no beef or pork. When the person I was with pointed this out, we were met with a grunt and an extremely rude response. We should have left then. But I informed my party and they changed their order. We also asked if they could prepare a slice of cheese and toast for a child. They refused saying they didn't have a grill. When I spoke to my friend about the attitude and rudeness of the staff, I was challenged by the woman with bad attitude. When I told her that her response wasn't in anyway good customer practice, she told the bar staff to cancel my order and told me to leave. So our party of 7 left including two children. Never again will I set foot in this place. Apparently she is known for her bad attitude and some of the people when we were leaving said they were...

Then the landlord came in, and decided to loudly comment about people taking photos of the pub. I replied that I have a daft hobby of taking a picture a day, and this was today’s, but he was having none of it, unable to fathom that it is perfectly possible, and an accepted practice, to use the camera on a phone. My friend tried to explain that I like photography, but the landlord still went on about it. Anyway, we had our one drink, enduring the bright light and lack of atmosphere, then left, bringing to an end our long relationship with the...
Read moreThe first time I came into this pub I was greeted by a welcoming young lady behind the bar, they have Guinness on draught which was spot on! It has now become a regular pub for me as the staff are so friendly and chatty. Has a great atmosphere and on weekends usually has people in that makes it a great place to come meet new people and have a chat. Would definitely recommend to any family as I’ve seen many kids in here and they have an amazing playground out back for them. And on top of all that it’s dog friendly so in my eyes it’s basically heaven. Guinness and dogs, YES PLEASE!!...
