The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere featuring plenty of wood accents and a charming boulder fireplace. The young lady who served us was cheerful and attentive. The meals were delicious, with smaller portions available for those with a lighter appetite. We particularly enjoyed the tasty beer-battered fish, along with crispy chips and a fresh salad.

We had a good experience at the restaurant. Our group consisted of about 12 people, and we all ordered coffee and meals at the same time. There was only one staff member working during our visit (she had awesome 80s-style hair—I'm sure you'll recognize her), and she did an amazing job. She was incredibly polite and cheerful throughout our meal, even while attending to regular customers. I can't comment on the drink selection, but the pub has a really great vibe with lots of wood accents. I've heard that either this establishment or an original pub burned down in that location, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it.

I absolutely loved this pub! The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We ended up returning twice, and the second visit was for lunch. I ordered a massive steak melt, while my husband enjoyed the fish and chips.

Gorgeous log cabin with surprisingly good insulation! Quiet and dark. We loved the fireplace in particular. Very convenient location for the best dinner in town too!
