Most Disliked
While many adore the lively environment, some patrons may find the karaoke nights overwhelming, especially if you're not a fan. There have been instances where the noise level rises significantly on busy nights, slightly detracting from conversation. Certain customers mention that dessert options could be expanded for a sweeter finish to their meals. During peak hours, the bustling energy can mean longer wait times, which may dissuade those seeking a quiet dining experience. A few have noted that while service is generally friendly, the staff can be stretched thin during the busiest times.

As recently moved into the area we have been made extremely welcome by the regulars and Dean and Ashley who manage the business have been very polite and have welcomed us. The pub is under going a refurbishment which has made the place more appealing. The food is lovely and generous portions. Give the place a try.

A very charming and friendly public house. We went for a Sunday lunch and were more impressed with the food. If you want food that tastes like love and thought has been put in it, just like your mother does, this is a brilliant place to go. Small , rustic and simple. A Very welcoming and enjoyable experience. Families are welcome and we'll catered for also. If you want a really nice home cooked meal with charm, this is the place to be.
