Such a lovely, cosy spot for catching up with friends. The staff were really chill and didn&#39;t rush us at all, even when we were the last table there. The food was super fresh.

Been coming here for years, and the steak pie is always spot on. Good portions, fair price.

Been getting my work dinners from here for ages. The lamb shank tonight was just as good as the first time &ndash; tender and falling off the bone. It&rsquo;s my reliable spot.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on - proper pub grub done right. Staff are friendly, place has a nice feel to it. A solid local.

The roast beef was spot on, medium-rare as requested. A solid Sunday lunch, though the service was a bit slow between courses.

Grabbed a table on a busy Saturday, no wait! The 2-4-1 cocktails with the student discount were a nice surprise. My espresso martini was actually really good, not too sweet. Lively spot, friendly bar staff.

First time trying their Sunday roast. The chef came out to check on everyone, which was a nice touch.

Love the space here. It&rsquo;s a proper, roomy pub with a big outdoor bit. The inside just feels relaxed, nothing too try-hard. A solid spot for a pint.

Had a work do here last week. The buffet was decent, plenty of choice and kept topped up. The team handled our group of 20 really well, everything just flowed without any fuss. Made it easy for us.

Love the vibe here, proper local pub feel. Staff are spot on, friendly without being overbearing. Had the fish and chips, batter was crisp and the chips were proper chunky. Pint of ale was well kept. Just what you want on a Friday evening.

Popped in for a weekend bite. As a coeliac, the staff were really clued up on what I could have. Went for the sausage and mash - proper comfort food, really hit the spot.

A proper dog-friendly pub, water bowls everywhere. The staff were lovely with our pup, made us feel right at home. My pint was spot on with the steak pie.

The omelette with two fillings was spot on, and the pot of tea was just right. It&rsquo;s the classic English cafe feel I was after &ndash; simple, no fuss. Prices felt fair for what you get.

First time here with the family. Dough balls and pizzas were solid, and the vegan cheesecake was a hit. Good beer selection. The live music was a nice touch, though it got a bit loud for conversation later on.

The meat and potato pie was spot on. Really generous filling, proper shortcrust pastry. I&#39;m already thinking about which one to try next time &ndash; the menu has a few interesting options.

Carbonara was spot on. Creamy, rich, and the pancetta was crispy. Exactly what I wanted. The Rustica breakfast looked good too, might try that next time. Solid little spot.

Lunch here was solid. The burger and chips were tasty and came out looking good. Paired it with a cold beer. The portion size for the price was decent, felt like I got what I paid for.

Staffordshire oatcakes were good, crispy and well-filled. The pumpkin soup was the highlight for me, genuinely excellent. Solid lunch spot.

Been here a few times. The hot dog in a brioche bun is solid, and the peanut butter cup milkshake in the metal shaker is always good. It&#39;s a decent spot off the A5 when you want something filling.

Been coming here for years, always for a light lunch. I really appreciate how fresh the ingredients are in their salads and sandwiches. The greens are crisp, and the tomatoes taste like they&#39;re just picked. It&#39;s a nice spot to refuel after a walk.

The halloumi fries were great. That drizzle on top is the real winner. Came for a quick lunch, got my order in no time. Perfect for a fast bite.

The beer-battered fish and chips is a must-try. The portion was huge, and those homemade chips were perfect. It&#39;s a lovely, cosy spot for a casual meal.

A lovely dog-friendly spot. I really appreciated how they handled my dietary request - the staff took the time to check ingredients for me. The salad was fresh and crisp. A relaxed lunch with our pup.
