The menu is limited, but the pizza, wings, and other options are quite delicious. The pub has a charming old-fashioned feel with an open fire, creating a nice atmosphere. The staff is also friendly. We will definitely be back again.

Actually in tears. Waited 50 minutes for food . Had ordered a plain hot dog , chef come out to double check just a hotdog and bun I confirmed yes. Hotdog was covered in mustard chilli sauce raw onions and goodness knows what else . I can’t eat spicy food at all so I ate some of the bun, got no chips like I ordered. Was offered cheesecake when I started crying. Went to pay for food card machine was down . Wasn’t told this before hand. Cash machine across the road but one of us had to stay at ransom until one of us brought back cash. Horrible experience, hate even driving passed the place .

The place has a lot of character and serves a delicious pint of Guinness. The music is fantastic and there is a spacious seating area in the back. The only downside are the toilets, which could use some improvement.

Despite having dined there before Covid, we made the mistake of booking a table for our anniversary dinner. Our meal took an hour to arrive after placing our order, during which time we observed all the takeout orders being fulfilled without any acknowledgment from the kitchen staff. The waitress who served us was apologetic, and we felt sorry for her. If you're looking to celebrate a special occasion, it's best not to bother visiting this establishment. It was a disappointing experience.
