Weekend menu is a treat! The fish and chips were lovely, but what really stood out was the freshness. You could tell the ingredients were top-notch. The Scotch egg was a nice surprise too, really homemade.

The treacle-cured T-bone was spot-on. What really made it for me was the Guinness sauce they suggested &ndash; that rich, malty note was a perfect foil for the sweet cure. A really smart pairing.

Absolutely excellent food, service, and atmosphere, this was my first visit and was highly recommended to me and didn&rsquo;t fail to impress, I will definitely be a return customer.

The new owners have made a real difference. The place feels cleaner and more welcoming now. I popped in last Thursday and they had a great live jazz night &ndash; their house red was a surprisingly good match for the charcuterie board. A solid spot for a relaxed evening.

Just tried their new courtyard for lunch. It&#39;s such a nice little spot, really peaceful. The food was solid, especially for the area. Honestly expected it to be pricier.

Nice spot for the office Christmas do. The interactive darts was a big hit with everyone. Staff were sound, Lisa especially. Good vibes for a group.

Organised a business lunch here. The team handled everything from planning to execution smoothly. Staff were efficient, kept things moving, and our guests were well looked after. A very professional operation.

Cosy spot with the fireplaces, perfect for a cold day. Had the fish and chips, portion was decent for the price. Could have been a bit hotter though.

Loved the cauliflower bites at our group event. The garden room was so peaceful.

Came with a big group, and the staff handled it well. Prices were fair, which was nice. The food was solid, nothing fancy but cooked right. Good spot for a casual get-together.

Staff were friendly and helpful. My white wine arrived a bit warm, and they brought a glass of ice without any fuss. Good, efficient service when you need it.

It was quite busy when we visited, so I&#39;d definitely recommend booking ahead. The staff were really friendly and attentive, even with a full house. They made sure we were comfortable and our drinks were topped up. A very pleasant evening.

A solid, no-frills pub. The fish and chips were exactly what you&#39;d expect - crispy batter, decent portion. Plenty of parking right outside, which is a major plus. Service was quick, got my order in and out efficiently. Exactly what I needed after a long day.

The garden is so pretty now! 🍃 Perfect for catching up with friends over a glass of wine. The new owners have really made it feel cosy and inviting. We stayed for ages just chatting.

As someone hard of hearing, I really appreciated the noise level here. Could actually have a conversation. The lamb&#39;s liver and lemon sponge were spot on.

Nice spot for a pint, and they let you bring the dog. The cellar&#39;s got some interesting history about Queen Emma.

The veggie burger here is a solid choice. It&#39;s a proper, substantial patty, not just a mushy veggie puck. The portion felt generous for the price. A nice spot if you&#39;re dining with someone who doesn&#39;t eat meat.

The fish and chips on a Friday. The batter was light and crisp, the chips were proper chunky. The fish itself was fresh, flaky. A solid portion for the price. That&#39;s what I go for.

Steak frites were spot on. The wine list had some nice options to go with it. Friendly service too.

The weekday happy hour pizza is a steal. We ended up ordering three different ones because we just kept going. The crust is spot on. Staff were chill, didn&#39;t rush us at all.

Love the energy here when there&#39;s a game on. The big screen is huge, and everyone&#39;s just into it. Gets a bit loud, but that&#39;s part of the vibe.

Been coming here for years. The service is always consistent and friendly, never rushed. It&rsquo;s a big part of why I keep coming back.

The staff handled our group of 50 with ease. The wine list had some nice, food-friendly options that paired well with the main course.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The burger was spot on, and the proper chips were really good &ndash; proper crispy outside, fluffy inside. Had a pint of the local ale with it, which was just right. Solid lunch.

Really friendly welcome and service. The food was excellent on a limited menu-not such a bad thing! Emphasising quality, not quantity.

Cool spot for a drink. The local beer selection is solid, tried a couple. Cocktails looked good too. Interior&#39;s got that edgy vibe. 👍

Been coming here for years. The staff are always friendly and efficient. Hallie, Sarah, and Carly are great - they remember your order and keep things moving. It&#39;s a nice, reliable spot.
