Despite the warning, I decided to go in during the afternoon and found a friendly bartender, two couples at one table, and two girls at another.

A pub with decent food. This was our third pub, in one afternoon, in our search for a meal. It’s got a Greek influence on the dishes. We had burger and fries, chicken skewers and fries and I had the cod and fries. The cod was done in breadcrumbs and was clearly a bought-in frozen product, but, at £8.50 it was perfectly adequate. A decent pub meal. My colleagues enjoyed their meals, too. We had a few Marston’s “61 Deep” beers and would certainly visit here again.
