The steak and ale pie is always a solid choice, and the fish and chips are reliably good. What really makes it for me is how comfortable the seating is - you can settle in for a proper meal without feeling rushed. A nice, easy spot for a quiet dinner.

Love the modern pub vibe tucked away on a side street. Their West Coast IPA was fantastic, really crisp and hoppy. The bratwurst was good too, proper mustard and kraut.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. They really made an effort to make my kids feel comfortable, which was lovely. It&rsquo;s a small thing, but it makes the whole meal so much more relaxed for everyone.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. They handled our large group with ease, and even prepared a special dish for a dietary need without any fuss. It made the whole evening very relaxed.

A lovely old pub with a proper log fire. The atmosphere is nice and cosy, perfect for a quiet pint with a friend. The decor feels authentic. It was a bit busy on a Saturday evening, but still a pleasant spot.

Popped in for a late lunch with the family. The fish and chips were spot on. Mark was a great host, really welcoming. The house red was a decent, easy-drinking choice with the pie. Made for a relaxed end to the day.

Been here a few times now, and the food&#39;s always solid. The fish pie is my go-to &ndash; creamy mash, loads of fish. The local bangers and mash are good too. Server was friendly, had a bit of a laugh with us. No complaints.

Friendly staff, and the food was tasty for the price. Had the chicken korma, it was nicely spiced. Good for a casual bite.

The interior here is a pleasant surprise for a chain pub. They&#39;ve kept some lovely original features, like the ornate ceiling and those old photographs. A decent glass of red felt right at home in that setting.

A lovely, cosy spot. The sea bass special was really nicely done, and the sticky toffee pudding was just right. What stood out was how comfortable the seating was &ndash; you could settle in for a while without feeling rushed.

The desserts here are so good! We shared a few slices of cake after our meal, and it was the perfect way to end a catch-up with friends. The service was really friendly too.

Lovely spot right in the centre, with a view of the water. The building has such character, with low beams and a really cosy feel. I noticed the menu had some nice, fresh-sounding salads, which is always a plus for me.

Great spot for a relaxed evening. The staff were happy to chat about the wine list, which had some interesting local options.

Right by the river next to the old bridge. Such a lovely spot. The light on the water at dusk was just perfect. A bit of a walk from the car park, but worth it for that view.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. Grabbed the ribs, they were tender and tasty. Came out fast, which is what I needed. Good portion for the price. 👍

I had a great time at the country music event! The food was delicious, and the drink selection was impressive, especially the cocktails.

They really get it if you have a dog. Our guy was totally welcome, even got a water bowl. Plenty of space for him to chill under the table. 👍

Been coming here for years. The rooms are always spotless, and I really like the modern bathrooms.

Stopped in on a quiet Monday. The home-cooked food was really good, portions were huge. Friendly landlord too. Just what you need on a slow night.

Sunday roast is solid. The roast potatoes were crispy and the Yorkshire puddings were good. Everything tasted fresh.

Great spot if you&#39;re exploring Gunwharf Quays. The parking nearby is a real plus.

The 24-hour menu is a lifesaver for late-night cravings. Food was good, and the place was surprisingly quiet at that hour.

The gluten-free chicken and leek pie was spot on. A proper find for a coeliac, and no extra charge for the GF menu.

Been coming here for years. The outdoor seating is always nice, especially when you&#39;re just off the train.

The food here is a step up from your usual pub fare. My fish and chips were pretty good, with a decently crispy batter. The service was a bit slow, but everyone at our table seemed happy with their meals.

Stopped in for a pint and ended up staying for dinner. The landlord was really friendly, had a good chat. Classic pub grub, solid fish and chips. Just what you need on a random Tuesday.

Dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. They had treats for our pup, and the parking right outside made it easy. Food was decent, though the service was a bit slow.

They were so nice to serve us breakfast even after hours! The chef made a lovely meal and the tea was perfect. Great for a relaxed catch-up with friends.
