Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for the beer range, with draught and fridge choices both praised. One mentions a keg imperial stout alongside a cask 11% barley wine, another the Bombay Social IPA, and others the international taps and the canned craft beers in the big fridge. Ales and ciders get a mention too. Close behind comes the atmosphere, described as a lovely micropub feel with a log fire, comfy chairs and pleasant music, and the bar staff are called knowledgeable and friendly by several. A few single out the pub snacks, and one enjoyed local bread with olive oil and balsamic alongside a pint. The caveats are specific. One reviewer found the person behind the bar rude, felt they were doing him a favour by coming in, and was served a two-thirds pour of beer. Another liked the place but found the number of dogs the only downside. One reviewer praised the bar man for throwing out an obnoxious customer, a detail that sits alongside reviews of friendly service.

“A fantastic little pub with one main room and a corner bar. The beer range is broad and excellent, the bar staff knowledgeable. Great pub snacks. In addition to the beer pumps there is a very well stocked beer fridge. Would highly recommend popping in for a pint (or three) 🍺”
