Staff were really nice. Bob, Emily, and Heather especially. Felt like they actually wanted you to have a good time, not just doing a job. Made the whole thing way more relaxed.

Popped in for lunch. The fish and chips were spot on - crispy batter, proper chips. Friendly staff too. A solid meal.

The lamb shank was cooked perfectly, just fell off the bone. The red wine sauce had a deep, savoury flavour that really worked with the meat. Portion was generous too.

Been coming here for years, and the tiramisu never disappoints. It&rsquo;s that perfect balance of rich and creamy, not too sweet. Always save room for it.

Been going here for years. Their own ales are solid, and the beer garden is a proper spot on a sunny day. My steak and ale pie was spot on, as usual. Good, honest pub grub.

The chicken shish glaze is spot on. Really nice char on the outside, still juicy inside. Their homemade chili sauce is a game changer, I ended up putting it on everything! The lamb was solid too.

A decent spot with a nice, family-run feel. They&#39;ve got the traditional pub atmosphere down, but with a solid selection of craft beers. The welcome was warm. A bit on the pricey side for a pint, but a pretty good place overall.

Josh was brilliant at making us feel safe when things got a bit tense. Really appreciated how he handled it.

Love the vibe in here! The old wooden beams make it feel cosy and historic. Perfect spot to catch up with friends over a Shipyard beer. Will definitely be back to try the food next time.

A decent spot for a pint. The steak sandwich from the lunch menu was pretty good &ndash; the bread was nice and fluffy. Ingredients seemed fine quality. It&rsquo;s a solid choice for a casual bite.

Been coming here for ages, and it&#39;s always solid. As a vegetarian, I never struggle to find something tasty on the menu. Staff are friendly and quick, even when they&#39;re busy with walk-ins.

The food was fresh and the menu had plenty of options. What really stood out was the service&mdash;everyone was so friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal feel very relaxed. A nice, easy spot for a quiet dinner.

Food was really tasty, portions were generous &amp; Staff were lovely- what more could you ask for? In fact when I knocked a glass of wine over the waiter presented us with another- what amazing service.  We&rsquo;ll be back

Friendly staff, they offered tasters of the ales to help me choose. The food was good, but I really liked the vibe - the lighting was just right and the wooden booths felt cosy. A nice spot to unwind.

The pork and chive dumplings were so good, I ordered another plate. The cocktails? Spot on. Our server was lovely, really attentive without hovering. A nice, relaxed vibe.

This pub has a great atmosphere and an amazing menu selection. The staff are welcoming, and the beer selection is excellent.

Been coming here for years, and the vibe is always spot on. Love that they kept the original Victorian details in the restoration. Just a really comfortable place for a simple dinner.

The pistachio milk cake was the standout. Really creamy, with a nice crunch from the nuts. The mochi was good too, chewy and not too sweet. A solid spot for a sweet treat.

Came in for dinner. The haddock was the standout. Fresh, flaky, perfectly cooked. Everything else was good, but that fish was next level.

The wood-fired pizza had a thin, crispy crust that didn&#39;t go soggy. Toppings were super fresh, especially the tomatoes. A solid choice for a casual bite.

Popped in for a late lunch, just wanted something simple. The steak pie was proper hearty, the mash was smooth. Went down a treat with a pint of stout. Exactly what you want from a pub.

Popped in on a busy Saturday. Jem was handling everything solo and still kept things moving. The burger was spot on, really juicy. Nice, relaxed vibe for a family lunch.

Nice spot for a family meal. Everything arrived hot and tasty, even with a big group. The pod was a bit snug but fine for us.

Decent drinks, fair prices. Their chilli chicken was spot on - really enjoyed it. The beer garden out back is a nice touch on a sunny day. Good veggie choices too.

Reliable local spot since others closed. Staff are efficient, which is key for a quick business lunch. Good that the car park is open again - makes it a practical choice.

The food was really tasty, fresh ingredients and all. But honestly, for the portion sizes, I found the prices a bit steep. You&#39;re paying more for the presentation than a filling meal.
