I booked a table for my daughters 18th birthday dinner and it was brilliant! The food was great and they helped sorting out balloons and also gave us all we needed to cut the cake! Would definitely recommend.

Had a great evening listening to 'ozzie and the uglies' which was the reason for the visit. It has changed in there from my last visit, which was 30 years ago, but won't be another before I'm back.

We popped here by chance for dinner.
upon entering It does seem like a locals pub and we did wonder whether to stay. We decided to give it a go and it didn't disappoint The Cajun chicken burger is one of the best I've tasted. My partner had the Cheese burger and he said it was very good. Very fast service, pleasant staff. The only issue is parking, if you can find a one hour Bay like we did and you're just going for food then this works fine, we ordered and ate our food quite comfortably with about 15 minutes left.

My wife and I we went on a Thursday evening for some food and time away from the kids 😀.
It was a quite evening except for the regulars there. The food was very nice I had a chicken burger with Mac n cheese while my wife had four starters for £20 as a meal as they’re big portions which I ended up eating, the cheese melts are amazing but a lot of cheese.

Tried the new lunch menu (only Wednesdays and Thursdays) mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce with a hint of paprika and freshly baked bread stick was deliciously different from usual garlic mushrooms. Cumberland sausages with mash and fresh peas were good but topped with onion gravy with real onion slices raised the level of flavour, followed by red velvet cheesecake with strawberry ice-cream and cream. Certainly walked the long way home. Excellent food, lovely service pleasant atmosphere. Thank you to the team . We will be back soon.

What a lovely pub. I understand the owners are quite new. Well decorated light and airy. Really nice beer garden. Dog and child friendly.
Menu has pretty much everything from Sunday roasts to burgers and sharing dishes. Some very good deals throughout the week e.g. 2 burgers and chips £20, 4 sharing dishes £20.
We did the 4 for £20. Very nice. Reasonably priced drinks.
Lovely staff, so helpful and friendly.
I should guess as summer closes and the nights draw in this will be a cosy, warm place to grab a bite or a beer.
I'll definitely be coming back when I visit this area again.

Great Pub… good food and drinks. Nice atmosphere, with the Pool table and darts. We (quite a large group) came here on a rainy day when we were camping nearby and they accommodated us wonderfully!

I absolutely love this pub, not only are the staff very helpful and polite, but the food is also amazing 🤤
I would also just like to say a massive THANK YOU to Hayley and her team for doing the "kids eat for £1" this summer holidays. We are all struggling in this day and age, so it's very very helpful.
Can't wait to visit again.
Keep up the hard work guys. ❤️

Great quality and value! We visited on a Saturday night and the service was excellent. The menu had something for everyone and the pick and mix (5 dishes) option was a winner. Portion size and quality surpassed my expectations. The beer on draught is good and you won't have a dirty pipes hangover in the morning. The pub has been renovated over the last 3 years and is very nice environment. After dinner we played pool and darts. What more could you want. We will take the family next time.
