Lovely cosy and classy pub with real log fires and an outdoor dining area. The food is extremely consistent in quality and value for money, menu is pretty extensive for a pub too. Starters are all lovely, there is also a fixed menu at certain times for a bargain price.Try to avoid busy times, either after work or between 8 to 9pm as service can be slower and less efficient then. The standard menu caters for all tastes including meat lovers, curries, fish, roasts, texmex, traditional favourites and veggie/vegan. I've been a regular here for 20 years and it's one of the most consistent and comforting places in the area. They are careful about allergies and you can swap aspects of a meal for other choices. Dessert menu is lacking choice and portions are small so I'd say spend your money on coffees including liqueur floater coffee with cream which is my favourite or nachos, calamari, wings etc if you want extras. Although it may feel a little clicky for new people as you can't stand at the bar to socialise, the staff are friendly and the locals are easy to get to know once you've been a few times. The decor is currently in warm tones with neutrals, carpeted with comfortable padded chairs, an eclectic interior design scheme and lots of objects d'art like vases, books and pictures to maintain interest. The pub is dog friendly and offers free treats and water bowls, and for a non doggie person like me, I don't find any of the dogs intrusive or bothersome. Wednesday night quiz can be loud and annoying if you just want to chat but it's over fairly quickly. They sometimes have live singers and other entertainment which can be either buzzing or a little hit and miss. The pub tries hard to reinvent itself and has survived many tough times over the years, I felt feel at home there. It's like a relative's living room, but with a few more people.
