Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return for the share plates, with one describing the "5 for £20" spread as outstanding, and several praise generous, well presented breakfasts and quick lunch service. The staff draw repeated mentions for staying friendly and attentive even when, as diners note, the pub gets "rushed off their feet" during busy football sittings. Close behind is the beer selection and dog friendly outdoor seating, though a couple of visitors found tables left uncleared inside. Complaints do recur: one diner says their Spicy Beef Nachos arrived with tinned mince instead of the advertised pulled beef chilli, another describes food that was dry and cold with a rude response to a complaint, and a separate review reports disheveled staff and a drink that seemed contaminated with sweat. Against that, other reviewers describe returning after a prior bad visit and finding the food "cooked to perfection" the second time, with one crediting a staff member by role for looking after their table.

    “Had a great breakfast – Keir really looked after us. Had a bit of trouble with parking beforehand – I suggest the nearby Castlegate long stay so that you can avoid the disk system – this seems to be challenging to get hold of. The place itself was great, and the service was amazing. The Food was really well presented and generous for the money.”

    “Good beer selection here and although we didnt eat there there was a good choice of pub grub. What we saw being taken to tabkes looked tasty. Nice outside seating area for sunny days and a pool table and big screen TVs inside the pub which were showcasing different sports. Staff seemed a bit slow to clear tables but I noted that the majority of diners where either outside as it was a lovely day or they were in the dining area adjacent to the outdoor seating area. Furher inside the pub there were a couple of uncleared tables which prevented some customers from utilising the space. Dog friendly with treats fir our furry friends Apart from uncleared tables it was a lovely venue and will visit again in the future.”

    “I honestly can’t compute the 4-5 star reviews. I have to concur with the other low reviews. Drinks served by a guy who looked like he had just stepped out a swimming pool - Absolutely dripping a sweat. Sure there was some droplets in my Shandy. Every staff member not very well dressed, disheveled, not presentable. And for the pièce de résistance the Food - Just no. Pub food is bla at the best of times. This was blugh. Not good. 3 meals not one very good. Little on the plate and words to describe are bland, dry, small, dissatisfying, disappointing, not expensive but expensive for what it was. We ate n drank what we could and enjoyed our walk afterwards. Not very clean also.”

    “Shocking experience, the staff were rude when I tried to complain about my food. The food was dry and cold when arrived and the rest of the party had already finished their food. Never again will I visited this place. Save your money”
