Nice spot for a post-hike pint. The log fire was a plus on a chilly day. Atmosphere is relaxed, and they have a friendly dog. Good selection of local ales. Service was efficient.

The three floors make it feel quite spacious. The booths are perfect for a quiet date, and their wine list had some lovely options to pair with the meal.

Solid spot for a quick bite. The fish and chips are decent, not greasy at all. Good for a reliable lunch. Location&#39;s handy with a big car park nearby, makes it easy. Just what you need when you&#39;re in a rush.

The goulash is a proper, hearty portion. The chicken and ham pie is packed with filling too. It&rsquo;s the kind of food that just feels right for a cosy, low-lit pub like this.

The Thursday cocktail specials are a nice treat. I really enjoyed the 80s playlist they had on, it made for a pleasant, relaxed evening. The seating was comfortable too, which is always a plus.

Had our office Christmas do here. Rachel behind the bar is a star - her cocktails were spot on and she kept the mood up all night. The team just got it, really made it easy for a big group. Food arrived quickly too, which helped!

Got a table instantly on a packed night, though they did warn us about a 30-minute wait for the food. Service was spot-on, not fussy. The dishes came out right on time. The lamb shank was rich, and they had a nice Malbec by the glass that paired beautifully with it.

Their gin selection is seriously impressive. Tried a few new ones I hadn&#39;t seen before. It does get a bit pricey on a Saturday night, but the midweek deals are solid.

The steak pie was really tasty, and my friend enjoyed her gammon and eggs. Service was quick and friendly, which made for a relaxed lunch. Good value, too.

Been coming here for years. The Tiki Fire rum is the main reason - it&#39;s just consistently good. Not many spots do it, and they&#39;ve kept it on the menu forever. That kind of reliability keeps me coming back.

The fish and chips were really good, fresh and hot. Service was decently quick even though it was quite busy. A solid choice for a casual meal.

Felt welcome dining solo. The chicken madras was great.

The portion sizes here are huge, you definitely get your money&#39;s worth. Food came out fast, which was nice. The quality is solid for the price you pay.

The apple crumble cocktail was pretty good, quite inventive. The menu seems decent overall. The main courses were fine, though my fish was a little overcooked.

The gin list is huge, and the wine wall is actually affordable. Felt quite fancy but still cosy, just right for a quiet drink.

Staff were friendly and efficient, especially at check-in. Very convenient location, close to the town centre and railway station. Made popping in for a quick bite before a train really easy.

Had a small order mix-up once. They sorted it quickly and even sent a replacement with a free drink. Good to see that level of care.

Been coming for years, and the bartenders still know how to surprise you. Letting them pick your cocktail is the way to go.

A nice relaxed spot, and they&#39;re dog-friendly which is a plus. The staff have a good sense of humour. We shared a platter with our wine, which was decent. It&#39;s a pretty good place for a casual evening.

Solid old-school pub. The hand-pulled ales are kept properly, which is key. Menu looked decent. Convenient spot for a quick pint after work.

The two-for-one cocktails were a pleasant surprise. They were well-made, not watered down at all. The space is spacious with a nice vibe. A solid choice for a casual drink after work.

The haddock and chips were spot on&mdash;really light batter and those chunky chips were so good. A proper cosy spot with the open fire too.

Nice, spacious spot. The waitress was friendly and took a moment to chat, which was a nice touch. Good selection on the menu too.

Got caught in the rain, so we ducked in here. The staff were nice and opened up a section for us. Food took a while, but it was decent pub food. Heard the beer is good, which is a plus.

The team here were so lovely with my friend&#39;s gluten-free request. They really took the time to make sure everything was right for her, which made our catch-up feel extra relaxed. The wine was a nice touch too.

Stopped in for lunch on a rainy walk. The welcome was genuinely warm, even with a soggy dog in tow. My lamb hotpot was spot on&mdash;rich, tender, and just what you need on a damp day. A really nice vibe in here.
