Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise food that arrives hot and on time, especially for big groups, with tables of 6, 11 and even 21 describing meals that came out quickly and without errors. The mixed grill and a medium rare sirloin steak get specific mentions, one reviewer noting two pieces of steak cooked lovely, and another starting with nacho cheese bits. Close behind is friendly, welcoming staff, with several describing being seated quickly. One party of 21 says the staff dressed the area with their banners and balloons for a daughter's 18th birthday. A couple of reviewers note a new chef, manager and team after earlier poor reviews, and say the pub is getting back on its feet. The caveats are few but specific. One reviewer calls the tables sticky and the service slow, and describes the pub as very noisy, with phones loud enough to drown out the tv, saying it has gone downhill. Another could not have a first-choice dish after a busy day, then received an apology email the next day and an invite to return.

“Food is great. Tables are sticky. Service is slow but not the waiting staffs fault. Drinks reasonable price. Very noisy with people using 'phones, loud enough to drown out the tv. Used to be a great place but has gone downhill.”

“First time visiting Sunday 28/06 5pm. 11 of us for food. For our daughters birthday. The staff were really welcoming and sat us quickly. We all ordered separately some at the bar and some on the app. Food came out quickly with no errors. Everyone in our group said they enjoyed the food and had a great evening. Thank you”

“We ordered for a table of 11, mains, drinks and starters. And all i can say is WOW. To begin the service was really good, everyone was cooperative and friendly, the food arrived quickly and it was hot and delicous to boot! We've tried a few meals at different places but this stands as our favorite. Do not miss this place if you are looking for a pint and good grub 🫶”
