Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to well kept beer, with Strongbow, Tennents and Newcastle Brown named as regular orders for a group that meets there twice a year, and several call the prices reasonable alongside it. Close behind is the food, with a gammon steak and chips singled out as superb and another diner recalling perfect food from a stables Christmas night out, though one visitor notes uncertainty over whether food is even served. The staff draw repeated praise as friendly and welcoming, and the cosy, traditional feel with a fire gets mentioned more than once. One reviewer notes early sanitizing stations and social distancing measures were in place. A regular local presence at Saturday afternoons is fondly recalled by one reviewer. The overall picture is of a well liked local spot for pints and casual meals, with staff warmth and reasonable prices as the recurring threads.
