We had a party booking here. The cost of hiring the room was a very good price. The room is just the right size and beautifully decorated. Was very easy to book and communication was great. They cater but the food was amazing. Extremely tasty. The ladies we dealt with on the day were lovely and Gaby was brilliant. 4 stars but only because the cost of the drinks was a teeny bit pricey and there was not much parking, but there may be parking elsewhere within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely be looking at booking this place for future gatherings.
Hired the upstairs private space for a birthday party, and it was excellent - great size, easy to connect to the sound system, the staff were so helpful with organising everything, buffet food was lovely, and they were so accommodating with making food and drink in the 80s theme. Would definitely recommend here for any private hire.
Used to be a good pub and buzzing on match days. However I popped in for a pint last night and stood waiting at the bar for 5 mins and no staff turned up? There were a few locals trying to call someone out for me but nobody appeared. Pub with no bar staff is a bit floored !! Shall not be returning
Food was really nice flavours but have been a few times now and always seem to hit some sort of snag (e.g. bar staff awol, overcooked chicken, hair in food) but staff respond well to queries/worries and offered to rectify so will give it another chance. Has a nice atmosphere and usually some good tunes on in the main bar. Staff are very friendly and helpful for the most part too.
Hi folks have to admit I love this place stopped in on the way to the Women's world cup game in Sunday and the 2 staff I was speaking to were dead sound. Had a great chat and I even got my picture taken with my Irish flag. Stopped in on the way back also and all the time wasn't just treated like a customer but was treated as a very welcomed customer nearly like family. Thank you so much again guys will see you soon👍🇮🇪 Anthony from Ireland
