Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the lively entertainment, singling out the fortnightly karaoke and disco nights as reliable highlights. Close behind are the drinks, with reviewers praising the range and quality of beverages, especially the Courage Director’s pint. The food earns consistent mention, with the burgers, beef and ale pie, and home made curry from the oven noted as standouts, while several also point to gluten free options. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and accommodating, even during busy periods. A few note slow food delivery or disruptive fellow patrons, and one reviewer advises registering your numberplate with the bar to avoid a fine.
