A group of us (who spent money and drank here on a regular basis) were kicked out on NYE for "smoking weed"... when we most definitely were NOT. Idiot management handled it pathetically, so fair to say we left voicing our anger. What's insulting is that a couple of regulars blatantly sell (and reek of) weed from here under the management's nose and nothing is said, not to mention if you'd stood in the toilets for 5mins on NYE you'd have seen the amount of coke being sniffed by regulars!!!

The zero tolerance on drugs and aggressive behaviour is most welcome (dealt with in a very controlled manner) and goes a long way towards creating the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that's bringing so many regular faces back (time and time again!). Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area, great beers, ciders, very dog friendly, clean, regular live music and a lovely crowd - what's...
