Popped in here while exploring St. Andrew’s and it was such a lovely surprise. It was very cozy and warm and the food was incredible. I ordered the brie, bacon, and cranberry and it was so good! The staff was very friendly and helpful!

We found this place after we left the cathedral and what a great find- a gorgeous pub. The servers were great- kind and funny. I got the baked brie, cranberry, and bacon ciabatta, and it was absolutely delicious! Would definitely come here again.
