Walked in at 19:14, got drinks and menus, and then told us we had 5 minutes to order if we wanted food.The creamy mushrooms were watery and luke warm.Hallumi bites were OK, and the chicken wings were good.MainsThe rib eye was more medium rare than medium well, no steak knife, but it wasn't needed.Tomatoes were raw but had a black middle as if they had cooked it.Chicken burger was solid. I could have used a hacksaw to find the dried chicken inside.The chicken curry was bland and watery.Poor choice of non alcoholic beers.Monday night is folk night, and the calming music calmed the savage breast after that burger.I don't like leaving reviews that are not glowing, it is a good pub that could be great with a bit of attention to detail in the food you serve.

Well this is a splendid place. Choice of real ales, food was good, hot and fast. Old style pub. Nice space / deck out the backAway from city centre, but not that far (bus station is near, rail station not far)

The home cooked food is 10/10 (especially the sticky toffee pudding!!) and the staff are always so warm and welcoming. Lovely cosy pub and dog

If there was a ramp in the beer garden for wheelchair access I'd give it 5 stars ?

Cracking little pub, with an excellent choice of ales which is always changing. Well worth a look in if you get the chance...

Visited at a very busy time but the staff were friendly and patient . Service was very good and didn't feel rushed. Real hand pump beer which was vy good and the food was exceptional. Thank you everyone at the pub. You are a great team and have a lovely pub.
