When down on the Friday evening with my partner for a drink. Been told by mates the pub has a big transformation, after 7pm the music started was so loud like a teenage club, it was impossible to hold a conversation.

Thank You Kirsty and Maria! In a world where a “proper” pub is almost as elusive as Unicorn poop, the all new, Green Gables is a real, rare gem! My husband and I paid a random visit after a long shift on Sunday and we had the best night! We received one of the warmest welcomes we’ve had in a pub in a very long time, locals were friendly and chatty, drinks were reasonably priced and served with big smiles, we laughed, we danced, we arm wrestled and left with the biggest smiles on our faces. Can’t wait to go back and give the food menu a try one day next week, and we will definitely be back again for drinks after long shifts. 😊

Took the Children in to see the refurbished and swanky new Gables Won’t be back again far too Expensive and Grumpy Landlady Place looks nice and the nippers enjoyed the Pool but sadly only could afford one game as like everything else prices have doubled Will have to lower prices or will soon be student flats.

What can I say used to love this place but whst has changed seemingly more a creche for kids than a restaurant (suppose they need to save on wages), food was ok nothing to write home about but if I wanted to spend my time with loud and brash kids I would of eaten at my local, heard they are closing and re opening as something new, maybe the new place will be run by adults for adults
