What a fantastic find! I popped in on a whim while exploring the area, and I was thoroughly impressed. The selection of drinks is superb, especially the craft beers—they had some local options I’d never seen before. I also enjoyed a delicious burger that was cooked to perfection. The vibe is relaxed, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely a place I’d return to, just wish they had a few more vegetarian options on the menu! Overall, a lovely spot to unwind after a long day.

I recently visited this charming pub after hearing great things from friends, and it truly lived up to the hype! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere that felt like a home away from home. The decor is a delightful mix of traditional and modern, with rustic wooden beams and quirky artwork adorning the walls. I particularly loved the cozy seating areas, which are perfect for both intimate chats and lively gatherings. Now, let’s talk about the food! I ordered the homemade beef and ale pie, and it was absolutely divine. The pastry was flaky and golden, while the filling was rich and hearty—exactly what you’d want from a classic pub dish. My partner went for the fish and chips, which also garnered rave reviews from me; the fish was perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter that didn't overwhelm the taste of the cod. We paired our meals with a couple of local ales which the staff expertly recommended, and they were spot on! The service was another highlight. Our server was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. They actually took the time to chat with us about the menu and the history of the place, which added a personal touch to our visit. If I had to mention one tiny issue, it would be the slightly noisy ambiance during peak hours; it was a bit hard to hear each other at times. However, this just adds to the lively pub experience! Overall, I can’t wait to go back and try the Sunday roast as I heard it’s legendary. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
