Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the sports-pub setup: football on 8 to 9 TVs, plus darts boards and a pool table, which several mention alongside friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Prices and the happy hour draw repeated praise, with one noting it runs from late morning into the afternoon, and a few say they stopped in only for a drink and found the service outstanding. Food gets a smaller share of comment, from pub grub in large portions to an all day Full English Breakfast cooked to order by the owner, who asks how eggs should be done and spreads butter liberally on the toast. Live music and a new owner bringing in more entertainment also come up. The one recurring caveat is staffing and payment: a reviewer describes a single young bartender practically running to take orders, fetch ice and check the toilets with only two staff on for a crowd of 70 plus, and notes the bar was cash only, suggesting a card machine for small charges. Even so, that same reviewer calls it a great time, and others close on a bartender who took her time with a customer.

“Misha the barwoman was very polite and understanding and took her time with me due to my unseen disabilities and was super friendly throughout. Richard, the owner, also cooks a fantastic cheap all day Full English Breakfast, the Large still being under a tenner, and does it to order asking how you'd like your eggs and if you want bread or toast (butter liberally spread on). Fantastic service and lovely people.”
