Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast is the recurring draw here, praised repeatedly as hearty and reliably good, with the chicken and beef versions singled out as solid even when turkey and pork occasionally came out drier or under-seasoned. Close behind, the craft beer and cask ale lineup earns consistent mentions, alongside standouts like the Korean wings and a sticky toffee pudding one diner called incredible. Monday burgers also get a nod for value, though one reviewer describes a burger arriving fifty minutes late, dry and overcooked with a stale bun, after their companion's food came out first, and felt some compensation should have been offered. Another notes the turkey and chicken were cut thin and dry, and roast potatoes undercooked, preferring another local spot's roast. Service is otherwise called attentive and friendly, staff described as helpful even during a busy birthday booking, though that same reviewer found the reserved area unmarked and noisy from overlapping music and football. The large terrace and beer garden are repeatedly mentioned as suited to bigger groups and dogs.

    “Unfortunately, I come here quite a lot but just for drinks, tonight I thought it would be nice to have a burger with my friend. His food came, and he finished it, 50 minutes later my burger arrived. It was okay but I was quite disappointed to see quite over cooked burger patties which wwere dry and a stale bun, which made for an unenjoyable experience. I think when food is given to the wrong customer then has a huge delay it would be appreciated to be offered something in compensation for the experience, a free dessert or something would really have been a nice touch.”

    “Our favourite local pub, hands down. The food & service never disappoint and regardless of the reason for hanging out there, it's our favourite spot. We also recently had our wedding party there and the team went above and beyond to ensure we had the best evening - which we did. Special thanks for making our day even more special!”

    “We booked a space here for a 40th bday and really enjoyed our visit. The decor and vibe is lovely and staff were really helpful and very patient with the children attending. The only issues were, it wasn't clear which part of the pub we had booked out as there were no reserved signs and we had to ask for these. Also, there was both music and football on in the area we had booked which made it very noisy. I would definitely visit again though for drinks and really appreciated the staff service.”

    “Highly recommended. The selection of craft beers is excellent; all the ones I tried were delicious and well served. The food also surprised me in a good way. The Korean wings are a must, very tasty and with a spectacular sauce. And the sticky toffee pudding for dessert was incredible, one of the best I've ever had. Without a doubt, a perfect place to enjoy good beer and very good food. I would go back without hesitation!”
