Customer Review Summary
Fish, chips and tartare sauce draw repeated praise, with reviewers consistently calling portions large and good value. Sunday lunch also gets singled out, with one reviewer noting the beef and stuffing were excellent, though the same visit found dessert poor. Several mention live music most weekends and an atmosphere they describe as electric or relaxed, paired repeatedly with friendly, helpful staff and a warm welcome. One reviewer highlights a kids meal, sausage and ice cream for a pound with an adult meal, as a standout value. Cleanliness comes up positively as well, with one diner noting the pub always looks clean and tidy. Across visits the pattern is consistent: generous portions, friendly service, and food most describe as lovely or delicious.
