This was only awarded 3 stars for service because of the volume of crowds who arrived from a 60's show nearby. Otherwise, this would have been awarded 5 stars for service.

Lovely pub. Watched the Lionesses in the cup final here. Lots of people, quick service, clean and friendly. We had the all day brunch. There's a superb selection of flavoured Gins & Vodkas, plus cider and beer.

Place was absolutely buzzing for a Saturday afternoon. Extremely busy and lucky to get seats. Able to order to table from app was good and prices as cheap as what you'll get in thr town. Guinness was really good.

Husband has sausage chips n beans n served chicken gravy. It was AWFUL. I HAD BURGER equally dry and served within 5 mins think maybe pre cooked then reheated. No flavour whatsoever. Large female barmaid coudnt careless. Didn't offer solution. Not good food at all. Would give a minus 5.
Come on. Basic food flavour. What bout beef gravy. Why have suet pudding and CHICKEN GRAVY.YUK. doesn't go. Chips dry and not flavour. Whole pub. Seems lacklustre and in need of a good clean and less dingy.
WONT GO AGAIN.
