Had a great night for my sons 18th birthday. Amazing food with great service. Staff are amazing and very welcoming, would definitely recommend 5*
Typical pub grub. Nothing exceptional, but there's nothing wrong with that. Service was great- Friendly and helpful. Ordered on the app, and the food arrived hot and as ordered, preceded immediately by the drinks. Perfect. Portion sizes were generous and the food was tasty. Value for money was exceptional. £20 for two mains inc. 2 drinks.
