Can only commebt on the booze, but it's your average local. Not bad, nothing to write home about. Lovely service though!

Great place to grab a pint and a quick game of pool… has a bad rep but personally was a nice place to pop in. Staff friendly and good price :)

Wills meals serving from the kitchen was awesome. Simon runs a good bar, decent prices and cold beer.

No food available. A very nice landlord and good selection of drinks.

Quite place beer

Don’t serve food as far as I can tell, the beer tastes stale and they have the most ridiculously loud music at the least considerate times. They are in a residential area with lots of young families and elderly people and have loud base music playing through festival type speakers frequently. Inside it also smells very strange and everything is sticky - save your money and go to spoons

Before the change of management we used to be in here almost every Sunday for the roast and general atmosphere as its our local for around 6 years.The pub itself is lovely and a big pub garden which is great in the summer. Since the changes though, we experienced a few things that have knocked the rating.- The roast has been hit + miss. The last time we were in though it was lovely.-There used to be place mats and cutlery set out (especially if you had reserved a table) but this doesn't seem to happen anymore. When you get used to how a particular place operates in regards to serving food, reservations and general service, you notice.- The music in the pub seems to come from the one large speaker that is on the bar. The times we have been in there, it has been blasting music that you would hear in a nightclub and at a volume where you cannot hear yourself speak.Came in for a quiet drink and would have been fine in the evening when more people were in, but there was only around 2 others in the bar.- We asked for juice and lemonade but it didn't taste right (more like squash and something else) so we asked for it to be changed to just lemonade. Didn't taste like lemonade but more like tonic water. Not sure if it was due to running out of certain things or the bar staff not understanding what we were asking for, but we haven't had a issue with asking for that drink before.
