Excellent burger.. good quality ingredients. Lovely building. Good screens for football. Quick service. More real ales would be nice! Overall very good.

Excellent service and great meal, the sea bass and the Korean burger was very good would thoroughly recommend and will go back.

Nice enough bar, characterful building etc. But I found the presence of a CCTV camera watching the urinals in the gents to be more than a bit off putting. And quite likely illegal...

Great looking venue, full of character, so came in for evening meal before going to a show. Menu looked interesting and varied, unlike the beers on offer. Most disappointing to see the only alcohol free beer offered was Hinekan. Why, when there are so many available, to pubs only stock corporate bland rubbish? Supermarkets have a far better selection than most pubs. Opted to go for a normal pint of Adnams Ghostship, an excellent beer. Unfortunately, this was served warm and flat, and although served from a pump labelled Ghost ship, and served in a Ghost ship glass, didn't taste like it and was more like a tepid cup of tea. If a pub can't serve a decent pint, then what's the point? Food was tasty and served in reasonable time. I would have given the pub a minus score, if possible, as they managed to ruin serving a nice beer and have a poor selection, but the great food dragged the score up to a +2.

Was meeting friends here before going to an actual restaurant. Only 1/3 hand pumps working on a Friday night due to cleaning the pipes. No heating (6 degrees outside). Dive bar. Always has been, but at least it used to serve a couple of decent beers. If you are a group of beery drunks or even just the more seasoned elderly drunk, then this place may be just for you. Unless you want warming up of course. (Decided to meet friends elsewhere by the way).

Great pub with lovely garden, but drinks selection has really gone down hill. I enjoy cider and only option available is a unheard of new brand inches which is awful.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and massive beer garden! They have a great range of drinks and food, they also have an outside bar. Would definitely recommend especially if you’re in a big group

Amazing place. Staff are super friendly and go beyond expectations! Food is amazingly good quality and fair priced!

Came here with family for a day out. Food was amazing and great price. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Would deffo recommend. Great for family and/or drinking nights out. Such a historic pub too!!
