Great atmosphere, friendly staff, just a shame the singer was a little too loud! Nice to have the entertainment but also nice to chat, unfortunately you could not hear yourself think! Good variety of drinks, cannot fault the Merlin

Plenty of atmosphere, decent beer & good half time faggots/peas this last week end. Great landlord Dom is nice friendly chap too. Staff are all friendly. I think Dom still does monthly Sunday lunch & that is absolutely cracking.

Great pub that does occasional Sunday Lunch, usually once monthly and special occasion such as Mother's Day. Just think i had to recommend this as having been for their Sunday lunches a couple of times over a couple of years (not thinking to recommend it on Trip Advisor before oddly) i just can't fault the quality of the cooking, the tenderness of beef or lamb cooked overnight is something else. Deserving of a mention as Sunday lunch is so delicious. The bar serves good beer along with choice of lager & ciders in comfortable surroundings, great for 6 Nations games with 2 TV's & a big screen and then they do a free half time lunch such as hot dogs or corned beef hash., good atmosphere.

Lovely food at a very reasonable price. Very friendly staff and very accommodating. Dog friendly. Have been here a couple of times and will definitely enjoy going there again when we visit our daughter who lives nearby. Sad to say this little gem has now closed down and up for sale 😢 Areal shame for traditional pubs with proper food.
