Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly welcome, with a solo visitor off the ferry describing guests and staff as caring and a family holding a wake saying staff couldn't do enough to help. The large garden comes close behind, with side gate access for cyclists and a band recalling an appreciative audience. Sports on big screens, a dog friendly welcome and a clean, modern refurbishment also draw praise. One reviewer found staff unfriendly toward foreigners and described the left wing of the interior as looking like an abandoned room, though their later update calls the inside and out lovely. Another asks for the music to be turned down because it is hard to talk, and wants the volume balanced for each area. Reviewers also recall Traf Fest, a live music day that raised a good amount of money for charity.

“Had my first pint here after taking the ferry from holland. Was on my own and everybody, guests and staff were very friendly and caring. Garden and interior are very nice!”

“Jo and Jo are always very welcoming. They host live music, show the football and other sporting events on TV and are often coming up with new event ideas at the pub. Their Traf Fest live music event was a great day and evening. The event also raised a good amount of money for charity. Just an all round good pub. Keep up the good work. Pete”
