Good selection of Nook Brewery beers. Quiet when visited but told can get very busy away from a Sunday night.

We are occasional visitors to this pub, and feeling peckish last night decided to try a couple of items off their tempting-looking tapas menu. Opting for the “Greek Style Chicken Kebab” and the “Salt & Pepper Baby Squid”, this was the first time we’d ordered food there, and we had high hopes because the grub that we’d seen being carried around by staff on this and previous visits had all looked lovely. As things turned out however, it was a very mixed bag. First the positive: The overall presentation was good, the chicken dish being served on a wooden board which is always a nice touch. And the chicken itself was cooked to a tee. The portion was also decent, with a nice tasty skewer of tender breast chunks for each of us. The flatbread however was slightly overcooked and a bit hard around the edges in some places. I persevered with my half of the bread, but the wife left some of hers. The tzatziki was okay but nothing to do cartwheels over, and the salad garnish was just that – salad garnish. Adequate, but nothing more. Overall rating: 3/5 Now the negative: The squid dish was truly awful and a complete waste of 8.50. We may as well not have bothered. In total there were 5 pieces of what was supposed to be battered squid, but when the time came to share that between us, it turned out that 3 of the 5 pieces were just batter with nothing inside, and the pieces of squid that the remaining 2 actually contained were about the site of a fingernail and utterly devoid of taste. “Baby squid” was overstating matters. More accurate would be “virtually non-existent squid”. As for the salad bed that accompanied it, that was just a heap of tired-looking rocket in a boring lemon dressing. And we didn’t even get the aioli dip that the menu said was supposed to accompany it. Overall rating: a very poor 1/5 We like the pub itself. The ambience and atmosphere are good, and the mixed-age clientele respectable. Like the food however, the staff are also a mixed bag: All youngsters, some reasonably efficient but others looking like they’d rather be somewhere else and in need of brushing up their “people skills” (on one occasion I asked for a fresh glass, only to have it slammed down onto the bar in front of me with a disapproving scowl from the barmaid). Would we eat there again? We *might* give it one more chance. But only one!

very busy and lively atmosphere excellent and prices not too bad, didn't have anything to eat so can't comment on food but plenty were eating so can't be bad.

We were stay it the Nook rooms about the Tap House and had to check in at the bar. After being escorted to our rooms we came back for a bear and something to eat and did not move any further. The beer was good and the food prepared fresh. After a long journey the staff were helpful, efficient and provided just what we needed. The menu had a good selection and the was also a specials board. I had the fish platter which is a selection of cold fish and well presented. It fulfilled out needs. There was a wide range of age groups in the small bar area. We sat in the dining area to the rear and moved no further. I will be recommending this place to my beer drinking friends.

Popped in for a quick drink late afternoon when it had just opened. Bar staff a bit miserable, beers ok, but better to be found nearby. Bit dingy inside, might be better by evening

Fantastic Tapas, food was wonderful and full of flavour.. We had the Brunch so we had 4 different tapas between us, staff were great food was served quickly, well presented, good portions, drinks were brought as soon as you were nearly empty.. Next time we are in the area we will definitely go back..
Staff are amazing!!!! Not had service like this in many years . Food so good ... Hidden gem ?

Best Tapas I've tasted. This place is really authentic. Doesn't look it but don't let this deceive you. We were told about this place as a tip off and it paid off and we weren't disappointed.!
Excellent food and drinks. Fantastic staff!
