Decent food at a reasonable price. My partner and I each had steak baguettes which were loaded with cheese and a delicious onion chutney, plus chips on the side.
The actual baguettes were spot on, perfectly crunchy, crusty exterior giving way to soft, fluffy bread underneath with a nice, fresh flavour. The steak was unfortunately a tad tough - we had ordered it medium rare and it was more like well done. Cheese and onion chutney were both wonderful though, and the chips were top tier. Wonderfully crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and tasted great.
We also had long Island iced teas, which were proper delicious!
Pros: reasonable prices, quality ingredients and well presented, tasty food. Cons: tough steak that was more done than requested, and every single table outside (where we sat) was SUPER wobbly, to the point we almost didn't eat here.

My point is - this was a Saturday night & advertised closure was 12pm & there was no announcement about the early closure! As a local & regular this was Very disappointing! Definitely not a pub...
Read morewent in for the first time last night, had an instance where I was made to feel uncomfortable just as I was leaving after an older guy had asked me and my friend to quieten down which we did and didn’t mind as we were leaving anyway, but afterwards I heard the guy make a comment under his breathe looking at me directly, which the staff presumably wouldn’t have heard, went to let a member of staff know in full detail as it just felt quite malicious I just wanted to give a heads up as the guy seemed quite drunk and the barman just cut me off by saying “What do you want me to do about it?” When I only went to politely let him know what happened and he didn’t even let me finish explaining before being rude, I just walked away and doubt I’ll be back if that’s how they...
