Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcoming staff, describing them as friendly and helpful, with a landlady who goes out of her way for regulars. Food earns steady praise too, including meat cooked to perfection, a vegan burger called really good, and jerk chicken skewers that one diner found good but a bit oily. Weekly events bring people back, namely Tuesday bingo, a Wednesday quiz and a karaoke night with live performances. Kids' portions are called a good size. The complaints carry more detail. One reviewer describes a birthday booking of 12 adults and 4 children where the food was slow, a supervisor cited short staffing, and the party was told to leave at 21:00 with food still on the plates. That reviewer also reports very dirty toilets and a promised callback that never came. Others mention limited vegetarian options, a lunch menu on the heavy side, and too few staff on a packed football night, though everyone got served. One family who found nothing vegetarian they wanted was allowed to order extra nachos and sides as a main.

“We called on the night England were playing Argentina, the place was rammed but all in a good manner and atmosphere. They were under staffed but they worked admirably and everyone got served eventually. The food was ok and perhaps not the best time to review the food we but will try it when it's not so busy to give a more honest assessment.”
