    Overall a really great experience! Food was delicious, best pub food I’ve had in a while and I am fussy! It’s definitely more elevated, given the taste and quality felt the prices were very fair. Service was excellent, very friendly and helpful staff. My only feedback would be to make the outside seating more comfortable to reflect and level out to the standard of excellent food and service! We will be back :)

    Staff were very pleasant but spilled nearly every dish they brought. Nearly ended in my friend’s lap a few times. There was also a long wait for drinks. Food was good but portion size was very small - small bowel of veg and roast potatoes between 4 was not enough. Have been here previously and was very impressed but our latest trip we were a little disappointed.
