What petersantilli likes about The Rat Trap:
I ordered the BLT burger and my wife ordered the chicken and Brie sandwich. We had a great experience at this pub - the staff was very friendly. We definitely plan on coming back. View all feedback. What SmartDamo doesn't like about The Rat Trap:
We arrived without a booking but managed to blag table 5 outside. We ordered chips and IPA. The IPA was excellent, I’d definitely recommend it. The ordering system is queue coming into bar in a one way system, which works great. It’s a shame when the sun went in it took the heat with it as it was soon freezing! View all feedback.
