Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the most frequent draw at this pub. Reviewers describe a big breakfast with extras, a small breakfast, and a cappuccino with a top up, all as good value, and one praises the coffee's flavor. Close behind are cheap pints, including a cider, and classic pub fare, with one group calling the starters, dips and mains excellent. Several mention ordering through the app and fast bar service, and staff are called hard working, warm and friendly. The vast, busy space draws comment for its high ceilings, mezzanine seating, historic chapel touches and interesting decor. The complaints are specific. One diner found a large piece of gristle in a steak and says the complaint to the waiter fell on deaf ears. Another's beans on toast arrived tasting sour, and one late-morning breakfast was a little cold. Evenings get very busy. One reviewer who accidentally ordered food twice through the app had a refund sorted promptly.
