Evening Visit. We had seen this pub after a river boat trip and decided to try it. This split-level pub has a number of cosy spaces for patrons to sit. Downstairs is a bar with fewer seats, which is used as a live music venue. There are toilets on both levels. There is also outside seating and good views of the river. We decided to eat, and my partner had a prawn cocktail, which was fine. I decided to try the cockles and bacon on toast . It sounds like a good idea, but it didn't work. The bacon was like pancetta, and the cockles could have been cooked in the bacon fat, fine . Instead, a rather overpowering garlic butter was poured over, and the toast was lying in it. It was also very salty. I managed to finish, but it was not easy to do. For a main , I decided on Tuna Nicoise, another disaster. The salad was just OK. The olives had pits, the eggs which were described as runny on the menu , were cold and hardboiled, and it seemed like the salad and eggs had been prepared much earlier as they were chilled. the tuna was supposed to be seared. It wasn't. It was overcooked and lukewarm. Overall, it was an unpleasant and unappetising plate of food. My partner had a roast. He ate most of it, but it looked unappealing to me. He left some, and I left most of mine.. There was an error over the bill at the bar, their fault . It was corrected. Pleasant staff and decent bar, but I wouldn't eat here again..

From first visit the food was exceptionally brilliant, warm friendly greeting upon arrival. We have been regular customers now and the food has just got even more better the last couple of weeks, we tried the take away service last time and it turned up before estimated time and was piping hot. Couldn't recommend enough.
