Once the beautiful Victorian interiors of this old pub were restored to their original glory and the first floor dining room opened, along with outside terrace for dining, the locals must have breathed a sigh of delight before tucking into some seriously good gastropub grub. Business folk crowd in at lunchtimes, while friendlier couples and groups pack in evenings and weekends. There is something here to suit most palates and pockets. The menu changes daily - another sign that they're serious about food here - but we recently loved the fish chowder, and the aubergine, potato and spinach bhaji with yoghurt. The wine list is heaven.

    The Greek/Mediterranean food options were astounding. Sunday roast was just ok and service was very slow. However appreciated that the food was homemade and complimentary bread was offered.

    The food is exceptional. Menu is full of dishes you are desperate to try and is completely different from most other pub menus. Staff are super friendly and the wine is really good and inexpensive compared to other pubs and restaurants. We will be back - regularly

    Great food, discreet but friendly service. Loved the look of place mix of old school pub with modern bright paintwork.

    I cannot speak more highly of this pub. The food is delicious, the staff are great and it’s small enough yet big enough to have a great vibe and atmosphere. I will definitely be going back regularly. It’s the perfect balance between a pub and a restaurant.

    Extremely helpful and accommodating staff (we moved tables twice because we were a large group). Delicious food with a great choice on offer. We really enjoyed the lamajun (spiced lamb flatbread) with tzatziki. A lovely place to have a leisurely lunch.
