Grabbed a quick ham, egg &amp; chips for lunch. The ham was nicely thick-cut, eggs runny just right. The cafeti&egrave;re of Italian roast coffee went perfectly with it. Simple stuff, but they nailed it.

The gluten-free fish and chips were spot on. They have a dedicated fryer, which is a huge plus. The batter stayed crispy the whole time, never got soggy. Really appreciated the staff&#39;s knowledge when I asked about cross-contamination.

Took the dog here for a quick lunch. The beer garden is clean and gets great sun, perfect for him. Staff were fine with him being around. Food was decent pub grub, nothing fancy. Good spot if you&#39;re out with the dog.

Nice spot for a quiet Sunday meal when other places are shut. The staff were really friendly and helpful with our little one.

Veggie and vegan pizzas here are really good. The crust is thin and crispy, toppings are fresh. Honestly one of the better ones I&#39;ve had.

The staff are so friendly, and the owner came over for a little chat. It&#39;s a small thing, but it makes the whole experience feel more relaxed and personal. A very comfortable spot for a quiet meal.

Stopped by on a Saturday, fully booked but they offered me a seat for just a coffee and ginger loaf. The loaf was so fresh, you could really taste the real ginger. A lovely, cosy spot.

The food was lovely and the prices felt fair. We arrived near closing time, but the staff were so welcoming and polite, which made the whole visit really pleasant.

Been here a few times. The menu&#39;s got a lot of options, which is handy when you&#39;ve got the kids with you. They always find something they like. Decent meal, no complaints.

Proper pub vibe, locals and visitors all mixed in. Felt like part of the neighbourhood just sitting there with a pint. Good spot to unwind.

Been coming here for years. Love the old arcade games and pool tables - they&#39;ve always kept them in good shape. The local photos and stuff on the walls are a nice touch. It&#39;s just a solid, fun spot.

The space is perfect for a big group breakfast. We all had room to spread out and chat comfortably.

Convenient spot right by the church and town centre. The beer garden out back is a real plus - spacious and pleasant when the weather&#39;s good. Makes for a straightforward, relaxed stop.

The roast potatoes were a new addition, and they were really good. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. The apple pie with custard for dessert finished things off nicely.

Popped in for a pint with the lads. They let you bring your dog in, which is a nice touch. Good spot to just sit and unwind.

Great spot for a catch-up! The beef rib was so juicy, and the pints were spot on. Really friendly vibe for a relaxed evening with mates.

Been coming for their Monday quiz for ages. The host always puts in a real effort, makes it a good night out.

Came for an afternoon cocktail, and the bar team was a joy to watch. They really take their time with each drink. My old fashioned was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. A bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the craft.

Nice spot for a pint. The underground layout with the glass roof is a cool feature. Had their IPA, which was crisp and well-kept. Table was clean, no sticky residue. A solid choice for a quiet afternoon drink.

The gluten-free menu is solid. Staff knew their stuff when I asked about allergies.

Very busy today as there was a coupon offer .Thought the food would be hot as it was busy, but it was mostly just warm although tasty.Staff friendly and cheerful considering how busy it was .Still good value. Also picked up a take out carvery

Nice spot with a decent beer garden for dogs. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced. Enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.

Lovely spot after a long walk in the North Pennines. They have a really good selection of local ales. The staff were friendly and the seating was comfortable, which was just what I needed.
