Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to this local pub most for its friendly welcome, from the bar staff, the landlord and the regulars, with several describing it as a place where locals mingle. Pints come up close behind, with praise for cheap prices, a good beer selection and a Guinness described as "bob on". Sports days draw mention too, with Sky Sports and huge TVs making the atmosphere livelier when football is on, and one reviewer adds an immaculate pool table and dart board. A few note that it is small but cozy, clean and dog friendly, and one praises the food and service on a busy night. The criticism is thinner but specific. One reviewer wanted a little more beer choice, and another had haddock and chips with burnt batter and soggy chunky chips, then was told only that the chef would hear about it. One reviewer also says it could open earlier. A newcomer to the area calls it a welcoming local, and a longtime regular says it is a good start before heading into town.
