Had a wonderful visit here. The pub is lovely, clean, and sits in such a great spot. The staff provided fantastic service, and the food was delicious—plus, we barely had to wait at all for it to arrive. We’ll definitely be back!

Great pub with good service. Pretty busy most of the time. Can have a good crack with the bar staff. Beware the parasol in the beer garden. Gets everyone on the way past 🤣

I paid over £30 for 2 drinks and 2 meals. The pie and chips required more gravy than the small jug it came with to my liking. I asked for more gravy, I got told that would be extra ???. The pie needed more gravy 😮💨
