Just spent a lovely 3 hours in the pub with my partner, we had some lovely food and the staff were very friendly, but one of the staff stood out I was told her name was Charlie, she’s an absolute credit to the place very friendly and didn’t stop running round the whole 3 hours we were there so I thought she deserved a little recognition thanks Charlie and staff we will be back x

Great service. Vert friendly staff . Went in with a voucher we got as a present, and the man explained all of our options we could have . Easy to use and the food was amazing. We had mushrooms and boneless chicken as starters and Chinese pork belly sizzler and chicken sizzler .

A really excellent pub that has three distinct areas. A pub/restaurant area with various tables designed mainly for eating and chatting, a smaller 'snug' area for watching sports or just drinking and chatting (though you can still have food in there I think) and a sports area with pool table and dart board. One pub but numerous different nights/atmospheres. Menu is great and drinks selection really impressive. Only a couple of real ales but a nice IPA and Doom Bar rather than the usual cop outs of John Smith's or Boddingtons.
