Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe a relaxed, friendly local pub, with several noting the welcome they felt on arrival. One visitor was nervous walking into what looked like a locals' bar, then found the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. Another says it is a good old fashioned pub with friendly staff and customers and a good selection of drinks. Cheap beer and affordable drinks come up repeatedly, along with an outside smoking area. One group popped in for one drink and stayed all night, crediting the bartender for making the evening. Another says staff treat customers like family as long as the rules are respected. The main caveat is cleanliness, with one reviewer saying it would earn five stars if it were a bit cleaner. A post-reopening review notes the pool table, dart board and jukebox are gone and there are no bar stools, so patrons sit away from the bar. One reviewer adds that friends refuse to go, yet their own visits have always been good.

“If anyone is interested, pub has reopened. Pool table, dart board and Jukebox has gone, so its that kind of pub. No bar stools so you will be 'away' from the bar. Does still serve alcohol. I supppse it could be an Indian restaurant. Service was nice”
