Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cask ales, praising a good selection of rotating real ales and a Saltaire Blonde described as delicious, with a Guinness and a range of gins also mentioned. Friendly, welcoming staff come up repeatedly, as does the sense of a proper, traditional community pub, one reviewer calling it a great antidote to the uniform slate grey interiors of refurbished pubs. Dogs and children are welcome, and two bars plus outdoor seating are noted. Several describe a great atmosphere, including one busy visit that seemed to be a family function, and planned events add to the community feel. The one caveat is range and service: one reviewer found only a limited range of ales, and another waited a little while to be served on a busy day. The kitchen does not sell food, yet reviewers close on the free nibbles, with pork pies on Friday, dripping and bread on Sunday, and sandwiches on the bar.

“Great little proper pub. Good beer and great atmosphere. Don't sell food but free pork pies on Friday and dripping and bread on Sunday so perhaps I should give 5 stars for food.”

“This place was super busy, we had a Saltaire Blonde which was delicious. There must have been some sort of family function on, so the place had a great atmosphere. We will be back!”
