Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the bar staff, with one bartender praised repeatedly for a warm smile, a friendly manner and service that stays quick and efficient even when busy. The atmosphere is described as welcoming, chilled and friendly, and a few mention meeting family or friends there. Among the food, diners name the cowboy burger, fish and chips and gammon, with a toffee sundae for afters and a new sharing platter recommended by one. One parent says the children's burger matched the quality of the adult meals, and another describes a combined birthday party where the decorations and party table kept the kids entertained. Reviewers also mention a newsletter sign-up discount on main meals and a Friday deal on premium pints. The one recurring complaint comes from a reviewer who was told twice that there was no food that day, adding that a neighbour had heard the same a couple of weeks earlier, and staff suggested another pub instead.

“Lovely place. Special mention to Laura our favourite, shes truly a great person with a great attitude and really stands out and makes our visit worth while. Always has a massive smile and is always social with anyone ! Which is what a pub needs. The food is also great my favourite is the gammon ! The 40% off premium pints is also a bonus on a Friday;)”

“Second time visiting to be told no food today .... my neighbour visited a couple of weeks ago and informed the same not great does the pub chain normally find this acceptable .... it needs sorting food usually fairly decent ... they suggested another pub to visit im sure it wont stay profitable on just drink alone ... not many cars in the car park which is what you can expect .... very disappointing.”

“Laura is an absolutely fantastic lady who truly elevates the whole experience. From the moment you walk up to the bar, she greets you with a warm, genuine smile that makes you feel instantly welcome. What really stands out is her attention to detail and ability to read the room. She’s quick, efficient, and never lets the quality slip, even when things get busy. On top of that, her friendly personality and great sense of humor make every interaction enjoyable. If you’re lucky enough to have Laura serving you, you’re in for a great night. She’s a true professional and a huge asset to any bar!”
