Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly praise this as a function room for occasions like christenings and an 18th birthday party, with lovely staff and reasonable, cheap drinks. Live entertainment gets a mention, and one reviewer notes the landlady's welcoming sense of humour. One diner adds the venue could use a little TLC, though catering and service that day were still described as good.
