The Messenger is a popular spot for Sunday roast, with excellent portions and value for money. The roast turkey is a standout dish. The pub is child-friendly, with amazing food and great prices. Service is top-notch, with friendly staff and accommodating managers. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it an ideal spot for celebrations. The fish and chips on Fridays are a must-try, served hot and fresh at a great price. Overall, The Messenger offers good food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment for patrons of all ages. It's a highly recommended dining destination.
