Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the welcome, describing a proper, down to earth local with a real community feel, where the landlord, landlady, bar staff and regulars make newcomers feel at home instead of stared at. Beer comes next. Several praise a good pint of Guinness, and one notes two or three Lees ales on handpump in good condition. Food gets less attention. One family arrived with low expectations and found it fantastic, with big portions, and another reviewer says the homemade pies come highly recommended, though they had not yet tried them. The one critical note concerns the food served outside, where a diner got cold biryani in two tiny paper bowls and found a Lees lager labelled craft nothing to rave about. One visitor found it quiet on a Sunday midday but livelier at other times of the week. For one reviewer, the best bit is simply the good Guinness.

    “Great pub. Brilliant atmosphere land lady and land lord are very welcoming and the best bit for me is that they do good Guinness 👍”
  • James Murphy
    “You can tell about a pub by how clean the bathrooms are. Spotless. Good to see. Bar staff really pleasant and there was a nice friendly local in there we chatted to. Didn’t get a chance to try the food. Was quiet when we went midday on a Sunday but seems a lot livelier at other times of the week. Will visit again for sure!”
