Long wait for meal. My fault that I didn't check the bill until I got home, and then found out out that I was charged for an extra that I didn't order, the garlic bread was priced at 2.50 but I was charged 2.95 !!! Very disappointed, as review's indicated that since refurbished things would be better. However, I don't agree, would not recommend to anyone !!!!!

Our son organised his Grandma's funeral wake here for today 27/04/26. He said staff were very very helpful patient as we were on our way over from Australia while this was done. Nothing was a problem were very attentive. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived, helped were to place photos donation box. We had an assortment of freshly made sandwiches chips that were nice hot. Other food options were available to chose from but this was sufficient for our needs. We would highly recommend there service. The pub is very clean spacious( not sat to close to others the toilets are excellent I thought best standard I have seen. Thank you so much from the Thompson family.
