Recomendaría reservar un lugar muy popular! Me encanta este pub comida cómoda adecuada muy buena selección en el menú podría comer aquí todas las noches durante un mes y no aburrirse con las ofertas, el personal se queda sin pies, pero absolutamente lo clavaron, el servicio brillante bien hecho a todos los interesados sin duda visitará aquí de nuevo cuando en la zona!

This was my favorite restaurant and had such amazing food, came for years . Unsure what happened over the last 12/18mths but the menu change and the food has changed so much and not for the better . Unsure if theres been a change of chef ,Unfortunately after our last visit In July wouldn't return for food If it isn't a change in chef please bring back the old menu

Excellent venue, pub is lovely warm and welcoming. Staff are lovely Cath and Vicky on today and really looked after us. Food was lush.. would highly recommend a visit

Excellent visit so friendly including for dogs. Ice cream was delicious, service was great. A return journey will be needed. Suitable for families great park

Had a lovely Sunday lunch very pleasant bulbar staff and a very pleasant waitress really welcoming and nice to go out their way to say goodbye well worth a visit and lovely desserts, too thanks folks

Love patting the goats and riding in the enchanted subway train ride. Best day out ever!!

Quite often go here for lunch on a Friday and always been nice, until yesterday. One of the specials was steak and mushroom pie, I was quite fancying this until I saw them, they were anemic, needed to of been cooked another 5 mins in the oven, they looked terrible. So my friend and I decided against that and went for the quiche, disappointed again, quiche part was ok but again the pastry underneath wasn’t cooked, it was grey and doughy, very unappetisingly. Don’t know whether they have a new cook or the oven is faulty but certainly needs looking into, not as busy as normal either, maybe they should wonder why.

I stopped going to this chippy 2yrs ago Because it was the dearest and the least food served compared to other chippies I thought I would give it another go wish I hadn’t It’s never changed The fish is the smallest portion I’ve ever had from a fish and chip shop Not recommended
