Found it to be very welcoming and friendly. Altogether friendly bar staff and customers alike. A lovely clean and tidy place with a garden and children welcome. Will definitely be going there again and told it is now under new management. Keep up the good work newbies!!

Lovely garden, lovely staff. Good beer and reasonable prices. Back again. A bit more difficult to get to because of the mess the high street is in but worth the effort. Not a huge Range of beers but the Pedigree is perfect. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Great service and very accommodating staff. With A good selection of beers to choose from. The bathrooms are very clean, the beer garden is very quiet and relaxed, especially for being located on a busy high st, a great choice for a nice pint highly recomend visiting 5 stars.
