Had a wonderful experience here. Dropped in for a late lunch, very friendly staff, professional and a great ambience. The patio is bright and welcoming. A good selection of beer and cider on tap. I ordered off the menu but they also have daily lunch specials. My meal was excellent, a lot of food and very reasonably priced. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to return.

Honestly I was served The Best Mixed Grill (large) I have ever had, definitely worth waiting the 30 minutes as everything on the plate was cooked fresh & piping hot, We'll definitely be coming back on many occasions

Such a beautiful little pub with grub, and adequate parking. Easy to find. The staff are lovely and help you with your service throughout your visit. The menu has classic favourites, reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and decor is well themed for a small Welsh pub, with great ambience of music and lighting. They have a beautiful outdoor garden too. Will visit again!

Really good food and beer. They have refitted upstairs into a restaurant area yet managed to keep the downstairs still as a pub with good real ale and a wide selection of other beers and ciders as well as some fancy gins! Also has a nice sunny (well potentially!) beer garden and a car park

Had food before the comedian on 16th feb,was excellent only disappointment was the dessert board only about 4 choices but not a major issue (calories and all that) Upstairs to watch the comedian and what a treat absolutely superb had everyone in a party mood Well done to Ashley for putting a great evening together will definitely support any other events Must mention the staff friendly,efficient and spot on with everything A proper boozer

Family of 13 meal, asked to pre order food. All meals were pre ordered but still managed to get 2 meals wrong. Had to get own cutlery for mains after cutlery removed after starters. No steak knives offered for those having steak. Waitress didn't even know which steak was which or how it had been cooked and what sauce was with it. Overall not a bad meal but a lot could be improved on.

First time here as treated by bil easy to park as we were early but gets full if you eat later good seating for me . Expected the normal Sunday roast but no the lamb was thick cut but just melted in your mouth veg well cooked not served half raw as is the fashion now, roast pots done to a crisp not pale and bland like so many places great gravy with any sauce you need and hot plates ,a rarity now . The sweet was just what was needed after a heavy course light sweet but very full of flavour . We will def be going again when we next visit great value for money

Radiators on full, felt uncomfortable and hot, service was horrendous young lad serving incorrect order taken, drinks order taken not delivered . Lasagne had an inch of cheese , the medium stead was so tough was unable to cut through , was unable to complain as felt intimidated by a member of staff that advised should have complained midway through the meal , everyone knows you discard these people walking past , felt very uncomfortable after complaining to the point didn’t order desserts . Really disappointed by the food poor service environment and attitude of staff member was disgusting rude and intimidating

The food is overpriced and the taste is very bland. You can see the staff tried their best but it's evident they are working in a very toxic environment, the manager/owner she doesn't seem to be very nice to customers or staff, I may have misjudged the situation but I very much doubt it. Never again. It's the poor employees I feel sorry for.

We were really looking forward to a fish and chip dinner. Two mouthfuls and it went in the bin. Greasy and soggy chips, dry fish (even the dog didn't want it). Food seemed like it had been left over since lunch time. Absolutely gross.
