Great little pub, only called in for a couple early doors on a Saturday afternoon, landlord and locals were dead friendly and the beers, spot on! Will definitely call again next time we are in the area.

We really enjoy our evenings in The Dolphin - wether that be for the fortnightly quiz (we won once which was nothing short of a minor miracle!) or Jam nights (I don’t sing or play an instrument in public but you can’t help joining in as it’s such a relaxed atmosphere) or just for a drink and now recently amazing food prepared by Liam Tinsley aka “Feast” Coby the landlord (with Ed) is superb and Joules are lucky to have him representing their brand. We’ve met some lovely friendly people here too who have become friends. Take a bow Coby you star! 🙇🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
