Nice cozy pub, drinks at the bar but the hidden gem, personally, is the filipino menu that they serve. Good menu to choose from and once we tasted the food, it was authentic as it comes and tasted really good. Price was reasonable and they had a nice vibe inside. One caveat though is that once you order food, you are obliged to order drinks from the bar. Parking space just at the side of the pub and you have to enter the car reg at the bar. They have outside seats to use. One thing that also made an impact on me was the toilet was spotless. They had a sunday roast buffet but we opted to order from the filipino menu.
Absolute hidden gem. Lovely garden to the front. Great value Thai Menu. Pretty quiet on a nice sunny Friday, pretty good COVID-19 measures. Felt slot safer than old town.
Visited for Drag Queen Bingo and enjoyed the food immensely. Face hurt from laughter and tummy full of delicious Filipino food, delicious. Can't wait to go back and enjoy ourselves again. Service superb, Freyja, by far, the best bar staff they have. Friendly and efficient.
I was here for a wedding reception. The food was hit and miss and there was some confusion about the time the buffet should be laid out. Consequently on arrival the food was all out and already pretty much cold which was disappointing. Staff did reheat for us but it wasn't very thorough and the food was at best Luke warm. The sweet and sour chicken was fantastic, even when Luke warm! Chips if they had been warm would have been great, such a shame they were Stone cold. The rest was pretty average. And it very much seemed like the mound of chocolate brownies and the pizzas were courtesy of Costco. Even more disappointing was the 2 tubs of walls ice cream plonked on the window sill. I don't think the older guests realised it was part of the buffet and being you can't refreeze ice cream it seemed very wasteful. The staff however were very pleasant and super friendly.
Had a great evening with friends. The live band and atmosphere were terrific. The staff did a brilliant job. Would definitely recommend without a doubt 👌
