I had the best breakfast I've had in a long time and I could share it with my dog. Usually she will not eat anything apart from a bit of sausage. It really was great! Black pudding, bacon, lovely sausages, 3 eggs and toast with coffee. All amazing :-)

Went to this venue for a music gig. As a pub reasonable selection of beers including 3 draft real ales. The actual music room was okay but seating venue squashed in and claustrophobic. Stage very low so anybody a little short has a problem seeing the artists perform.

Reasonable choice of real ales. Went for a music gig which was very good but the 'hall/venue" seats were tightly packed in making it difficult for myself with mobility problems tmo get in and out. Also stage was low so view of artistes was restricted.

Chef stevie’s Caribbean food is excellent. We will be back to try the rest of the menu soon! Don’t let the loud tv and dark room put you off.

Came here to watch the Euros Finals, and what an atmosphere. The staff were friendly and they had made the area safe, considering the covid restrictions. Recommend this pub if you want to enjoy live music, some amazing BBQ food.
