I was hosting an event for 20 people. The space under the marquee outdoors was perfect for mingling with room but still with a good atmosphere. Guests enjoyed the food and it was easy to order from the bar indoors. The staff was extremely courteous. Great for a large party like ours but still comfortably casual.

Great local pub with good pub style food, staff friendly and helpful if going there to eat go upstairs where its quieter and you can have a conversation without screaming at each other as it is quite noisy and lively on the ground floor. A pub that is highly recommended and a fantastic local place to go.
