Wide ranging selection of beers though, usually plenty of local options. Service was friendly and fast. Food quite mediocre but nothing wrong with it, just not great. Would defo go back for beers though!

Pleasant enough atmosphere, a drinks menu that afforded plenty of choice, and potentially one of the best burgers I 've ever eaten...

Polite service is the bare minimum parties like ourselves should have received. Would think twice before returning simply due to the absence of such.
