Lovely local pub. Friendly staff. Great value pies and lots of choice. The beef madras pie was exceptional, will definitely order again. Nice selection of beers.

Lovely, cosy pub with roaring fires and friendly staff. Great home cooked food with an excellent Sunday roast and range of pies as well. Nice selection of local beers on offer. We go in as often as we can!

Been a pleasure to call this my local. Great selection of drinks and the homemade pies smell amazing - yet to try one but anyone who’s had one tells me they’re amazing. Staff absolutely lovely and nothing is too much trouble.

We hired the function room for our engagement party and we had the best time! As there was a lot of us (around 60 guests) they very kindly allowed us to have sole use of the function room (where we played our own music) but also have sole use to one side of the bar which worked amazingly for some of the guests that preferred to have a quieter seat inside near the fire. We also had our own outside area which was also made so much nicer by them having fire pits going for us! All of the staff were so attentive on the lead up to our celebration and on the night, we couldn’t be more grateful to them for helping us have such a special evening! I’m gutted that I didn’t get more photos of the function room as it looked so pretty with all of the fairy lights on, and we were able to decorate it as we wanted! Thank you so much Lisa and the team!

This pub is tucked away, so you really wouldn't know it was there unless you was looking for it. Nice selection of drinks available, plenty of seating and outside seating space as well (and a bit quieter than some of the other pubs near by as it's tucked away!) Service was good and it seemed like a really chilled out pub. The pub signage has a picture of a bomb on it - the reason of which is answered on the wall inside the pub... (we thought it was unusual signage!)
