Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the atmosphere at Top House, describing a friendly, homely local with a welcoming landlord and staff who make visitors feel at home. Close behind is the beer selection, with several praising a great range and pool and sport nights, including a football screening with complimentary snacks and discounted beer. The home made pies also get a specific mention as a standout. A few gripes recur: one reviewer felt service during a busy spell favored whoever was at the front of the bar rather than who arrived first, another found driver drinks pricey, and one wished for coffee and a wider choice of alcohol free beers. Tables being a little sticky is noted once. Despite these, most describe it as a cracking, welcoming local worth calling into for a pint.

“Nice friendly local. Wish it served coffee and a better selection of alcohol free beers, but welcoming and comfortable.”

“Had brill night Tuesday for pool, all the football world cup is being screened with complimentary snacks and discounted beer so it's worth the trip. Pleasantly run”

“Called on band contest night but was relatively quiet. Service, cleanliness and staff all 5*. Marked down on price of driver drinks which I felt were expensive.”
- Stephen Roulston
“Visited a couple of times when over from Northern Ireland. Made very welcome by all. Great bar staff friendly locals and the landlord is an absolute gentleman. Cracking atmosphere.”
- Lesley Fitchett
“Not a good choice of drinks for my husband as he likes the darker ales, service wasn't very good it was busy but it seemed like they just served who was in front of them regardless of how long anyone else had been at the bar, I worked behind the bar for years and I know you should be checking around when you're serving to see who is next.”
