Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the food as the standout, repeatedly praising its quality and calling it exceptional or top notch. Several highlight the grazers as simple yet exquisite, while others note the Sunday lunch as a point of frustration, with one reviewer describing it as horrendous. The atmosphere draws frequent mention, with many describing it as quiet, calming, and far less raucous than in the past, and several commend the cleanliness and the effort put into events like the opening day fundraiser with stalls, food trucks, and music. Service earns consistent praise for being quick and friendly, with multiple reviewers noting the warmth of the staff and the landlords. A recurring complaint centers on the kitchen closing early, with one diner reporting being told it shuts at 6pm despite advertised hours.

“The place is quiet yet calming. We came for a few drinks and a small bite to eat. We had some grazers and they were simple yet exquisite. Complements to the Chef Tia and the new landlord Keiran.”
- Tia Robinson
“The official opening day for the new landlords on 9th may was amazing, a fundraising event occurred with so many things to do for children, treats were available inside to purchase, the place was so clean the cleanest I’ve seen it in a long time. The turn out for 9th may was fantastic the landlords are so warming and welcoming, both the front and back beer garden looked so good. Service by the bar staff was quick and they were lovely to talk to. Will definitely be returning now it’s been taken over by people who know what they are doing 🙌🏾”

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.
