“Had a great time here with my partner. We had a couple to cokes and a couple of ciders, played a game of pool and darts. The regulars were so welcoming, we bantered for hours with a few of them. The barmaid was absolutely lovely. Despite it being our first time visiting, we were left with a very positive impression and felt instantly welcomed.”

“If you are a person of colour, I would strongly advise avoiding this pub. I visited with a few friends, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt uncomfortable. People inside appeared shocked to see us, and we were made to feel unwelcome almost immediately. Comments were made towards us, which left us feeling judged and targeted. We ended up leaving within a few minutes because the experience was so unpleasant. No one should be made to feel like they do not belong somewhere, especially when simply going in for a drink. Very disappointing experience.”
