Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff, who are described as welcoming even when rushed off their feet, with a bartender and a regular Friday lunchtime team praised for knowing orders by heart. Food gets named too: Mac n Cheese and pudding, Katsu Chicken and rice, and a Christmas salmon meal that one diner found fine but wanted more veg with. Meal deals and food and drink offers come up repeatedly as great value, and one reviewer says staff were accommodating with special food requirements. Atmosphere is called lively and brilliant, and the pub is described as busy and the heart of the community. The main criticism concerns management. One reviewer says the pub has gone without a manager for a long time, blames the pub company, and says the last manager had no customer skills, while the team kept things running over Christmas and New Year, when a disco did not arrive due to illness. Another reviewer says the pub could do with air conditioning. A birthday group closes the praise, describing hot, tasty food and staff who explained the offers when ordering.
