    This was a great way to treat ourselves midweek - the steak frites were delicious and great value. I'm also not usually a sauce person for steak but the peppercorn sauce was actually an incredible accompaniment - devoured the lot! Will definitely be back to take advantage of it again! On another note, it's so positive to finally seeing some heart and soul return to this amazing local pub. The staff are always lovely, very personable and passionate about the service they provide and the new leadership (both front of house and kitchen) are clearly invested in it's success. Very excited to see what they have in store moving forwards!

Location

How this listing is sourced

Where the data comes from
Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
How it stays current
Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
How it is ranked
Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
