Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly describe a function room for celebrations, naming a christening and an 18th birthday party, with catering by a local firm praised as always excellent. Football and the Duke box come up as draws, along with good company, lovely staff, a landlady with a great sense of humour, and reasonable drinks. One reviewer says the place could do with a little TLC.
