“Best meals I have ever had!! I loved it and I want more!! Cool old pub too and the staff was friendly and nice to talk to.”

“How a Proper Pub Should Be Run If you are tired of visiting places with sticky tables, stained plates, and dull cutlery, this pub gets the basics completely right. Too many venues now expect you to book months ahead and pre-order meals weeks in advance—leaving you waiting an eternity on the day for food you no longer fancy. This place does the exact opposite. * Spotless Standards: The tabletops, crockery, and cutlery were gleaming and properly clean. * Effortless Booking: We booked just 15 minutes before turning up and were shown straight to our table with zero fuss. * Fast, Efficient Service: Even with several large birthday parties filling the room, our meals arrived promptly, piping hot, and full of flavour. * Calm Atmosphere: The team handled a packed dining room smoothly and politely, keeping the whole room relaxed. We already have a nice local pub that we enjoy, but this experience was on another level. Even though we live an hour away, my husband is already planning to celebrate his next birthday here. Other venues could learn a lot from how this team manages quality, speed, and cleanliness under pressure. Highly recommended.”
