Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most mentions at this Wetherspoon, with reviewers calling the battered haddock and chips yummy, alongside a steak pudding, a burger, scampi combos with a pint of Doombar, and a chickpea and sweet potato curry described as tasty. Several point to good prices and real ales, and food ordered through the app is repeatedly described as arriving quickly, even when the pub is packed. Staff come across as friendly and quick at clearing tables, and one reviewer praises a server working the upstairs outdoor terrace, which another says has excellent views. The recurring caveat is how busy it gets, with one struggling to find a table on a Friday afternoon. A few reviewers note sticky tables, stained menus, and having to clear their own table and ask for it to be wiped. Not every dish landed: a tuna melt panini was called a little sad with meagre filling, and a pie with mash and peas was just okay. One reviewer ordered pancakes from the children's menu, and the milk arrived first.

“I'm rating this 5 stars! I loved everything! The menu was very good. I ordered pancakes with milk, strawberries and blueberrys from the children's menu, and I got the milk first. And the pancakes the employee gave me was similar to the original happy face! It was tasty. The employees got the food right. Love it with my family.”
