Not been for ages but in the area. Very quiet only a few people. I've been for Sunday roast before a couple of years ago. Will go again. Asked for refreshing drink large lime & soda Β£2. Found nice seat in garden. If want to watch football can small screens in each booth. Decided to have food ordered nachos. Liked the dips but wish more & less nachos which were a bit burned/overcooked I thought. Support pubs or will close.. sure the whole area is looking forward to new term.
