I’ve just seen a review that was left Saturday morning regarding Friday night, I was in the pub all day/night Friday and I did NOT witness the girls drinking or vaping! The girls at the palmer tavern were working their socks off and the place was busiest I’ve even seen it! It sounds like she needs to say thank you for keeping her property save over night and returning it the next day? The pub is better then its ever been and I take my hat off to the hard work everyone does! Don’t listen to the haters

+ Referb is nice, beer is cheap - Staff drinking and vaping while serving drinks - Toilets are barely functional - I returned the next day to pick up a forgotten item. Google said it opened at 11 and it didn't open until 12. I advised the landlady this in case she needed to change it and her reply was "I don't know what google you're using". This one ma'am.

The drinks are always excellent and so reasonably priced I'm surprised they ever have anything left, but they always do! Wide range of beers, ales and ciders, plus any spirit you care to think of, in a totally gorgeous venue - this place is a total winner for me and I will recommend it to anyone who will listen!

Nice friendly pub with a small friendly dog. Nice decor in the pub on the whole and Update - ladies toilet seats are nice and new!! Sadly they don't have a wide range of non alcoholic drinks and no hot drinks but a nice place to go nevertheless. Pool table and darts too they also do a quiz on a Monday. They do food but I've not eaten there so cannot comment, it looks very typical pub grub, chips, chicken pizza etc. The menu looks inexpensive and the kitchen is open plan next to the bar so the bar staff cook the food while you wait. They have a car park (input your reg number on the screen at the bar) and a large rear garden with outside seating front and rear. They currently have a meat raffle on a Sunday for £3 per square! They also have two Pool tables and they are nearly always in use. Wednesday evenings for about an hour it is very, very busy with students from the university filling most of the pub for the first term, September to December only. They are very loud and often a bit drunk but they then go into the garden as part of their routine and then all leave en mass! The pool tables are on the way from the bar to the toilets so it can be tricky to get past at times.

It is a cozy and inviting pub. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the staff is always welcoming and attentive. The pub offers a great selection of beers, including local brews and classic favorites, and the food menu is equally impressive. The fish and chips are a must-try, and the burgers are also top-notch. The vibe is lively and fun, but never too loud or overwhelming The decor is charming and eclectic Overall, it is a fantastic pub that offers a little something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a casual night out with friends, this place is a winner.
