Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the Thursday burger night and Sunday roast, with the burgers and chips repeatedly praised as delicious and the Sunday roast noted for its generous portions and standout Yorkshire puddings. The pub’s rotating selection of real ales and spirits draws consistent mention, alongside themed nights and Friday street food vans outside. Several highlight the warm, humorous welcome from the staff and the dog-friendly front section, with a quieter back area for those without pets. A few reviewers report difficulty securing a table during busy periods, with one describing being overlooked at the bar despite visible empty tables. Close behind, the fish and chips and steak also earn specific praise for taste and quality.

“First time eating in here tonight for burger night (Thursdays), a great selection of burgers, absolutely delicious, AMAZING chips!! Fantastic service and a great pint of Guinness! (Also a selection of ales). Will definitely be back! 100% recommend.”
- Craig Hancock (The Branding Department)
“Highly recommend this pub with the grumpy landlord, this makes it all the better, fantastic range of spirits and ales, with always a nice selection for christmas, each friday there's a food van outside! The front section does get busy as it's the dog friendly area, the back space is where you can be dog free.”
- Elaine Gnyp
“Went to eat in the evening around 19:30, stood in the bar area at the front waiting to be served for approx 10mins whilst all the locals got served around us first to then be told they had no tables. We could see at least two empty tables. …”
- Joseph Bussell
“Always a great selection of beers and a friendly atmosphere, the food is top notch and very reasonably priced. Their Sunday roast is brilliant, generous portions and the best yorkshires I've had in a long while, just remember to book in …”
- Sue Brown
“We’ve started to drop in on my nightly dog walk to try and socialise the pups. Always receive a friendly welcome. Food came highly recommended from other locals too and we can vouch for that too with great themed nights and friday nights supporting alternative local street food suppliers.”

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.
