Most Disliked
Some diners mention inconsistency in food offerings on busy days. Occasionally, popular dishes may run out, leading to disappointment. While the ambiance is often commended, the level of noise can fluctuate during peak hours, particularly when live music events occur. A few reviews note that reservations are recommended during busy times, particularly for brunch and Sunday lunches, indicating that dropping in without planning can lead to long waits. Lastly, while children are catered for well, some parents have mentioned a desire for even more variety in the kids' menu.

Delicious food and price is not too bad because you receive a good portion. Lovely looking pub, nice atmosphere, looks very clean and modern and well spaced out tables. Interesting little place, with a nice garden and car park at the rear. Sitting outside the front and the back.

Lovely pub, with comfortable seating area as well as dining tables. We went for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and plentiful. Dessert menu looked good, but we were too full up this visit to try any. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend.

Good clean spacious pub. Friendly staff. Didn't get to see the drinks at the bar as we had table service, but moretti was on tap so I'd guess decent selection. The burger I had was one of the best I've had in a while, and the cheesy garlic bread was delightful. Thanks guys.
