One of the worse experiences in ages. The staff served locals first and just kept you waiting. No easy access into the pub, for the disabled. Toilets were disgusting, woth poo round the pan and food was luke warm and revolting. Not a place to return to.

We got Chuck out of our seats tonight plus someone got really upset because they wanted to do poker playing cards. I'm sad as well I've had to come home I couldn't have a extra couple of drinks because of the card game. I thought when you go to the pub you are exposed to be happy. I think this is wrong I'm so disappointed 😞

Great atmosphere here. The owner has great taste in live bands as he booked us! We had a great time, everyone was really friendly. We set up from 7:30pm and it had a really nice community feel about the place. There were various teams when we arrived; (football and cyclists) who chose to meet here with their families and it was a really pleasant atmosphere. Then when we started around 9pm, the evening crowd appeared and they were equally pleasant.

At this present time it is a pub you can go to as it has ample outdoor space but do not expect to get served very quickly. Especially if it is busy. We waited 40 mins to get a drink, after being ignored by the disorganised servers we left. The food was not great value either and the system to go into the toilets was non existent. A free for all with no cleaning. Will not be going back anytime soon. Which is a shame

Great atmosphere, great staff & always great service...the sunday roast is always a fave of mine & would wholeheartedly recommend a visit..the only thing I would say is dont bother with extra roast potatoes as we paid £4.25 & ended up with 4 potatos! There is always more gravy needed so I would suggest a more filled pot but the staff are always happy to get extra for you
