A local pub that serves quality drinks including draught real ales & premium lagers. There is a limited food menu, with focus on bar snacks but some hot food is available, but worth checking before you go. The staff are welcoming & friendly and this pub deservedly gets a full five stars ๐Ÿ‘

My partner and I have had a terrible experience last night. It started with sexist remarks for a member of staff or friend od staff member. THEN they wouldn't serve food although it said on the menu that it was available upto 8pm. THEN the bar was unattended for maybe 10minutes whilst all the staff went for a cigarette THEN they refused to serve us altogether!! THEN they all followed us out of the door to continue cause even more upset. Terrible, Disgusting experience!

Went into this pub for the first time ever last night. It was quiz night so I thought, why not. It was a lovely atmosphere with a mix of all ages. Bar staff were friendly and welcoming and all smiling which is nice to see. They carry a fantastic range of beers and although not a big beer drinker myself, I would assume caters for the most eclectic of tastes. The pub is dog friendly too. The only one negative, and it's trivial, is the quiz PA is very poor. Half the pub couldn't hear the questions! Anyway I will return.

Saw on your F/B Page you had a visit from Gedling Borough Environmental Health and they said they were happy with your Covid-19 safety measures , Well it's a good job they didn't give you a return visit last evening , We waited at the door so we could give our contact details , Nobody around , Someone sat at a table said just sit down , So we did , looking around to try and get someones attention no such luck BUT the tables of 3 , 4 and 5 ( Which i can't believe were all from the same household ) were all being looked after also People coming in from outside from the exit ( NOT GOOD ) Also not wearing face coverings when walking around the pub , After waiting for 10 minutes we decided to leave ( You may be thinking only 10 minutes ) But in that time we wasn't even acknowledged that we was there , You need to sort yourself out because we could quite easily had been from the council paying you a return visit .
