Wow! What an amazing pub. Really friendly staff. Great beer. Dog friendly and food was delicious. First impression was perhaps the food was a little on the expensive side but oh my gosh.

Best steak pie, chips, gravy peas...not to mention the excellent service. Worth the 5,000-mile flight from Colorado.
