Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the real ales and traditional food, with fresh veg and a good-value birthday meal mentioned. Its spot near the Festival Theatre draws theatre-goers, and one coach party of seven, arriving late, was still fed and reached the show on time. Parking is the recurring complaint, with one reviewer calling it very restricted.
