Great pub with weekly bands and events like the fortnightly bingo. Front patio which is a well maintained and bit of sun trap in the day. Fenced garden at the rear with a kids play area suitable for toddlers around a train and a slide and climbing frame. Live sport and pool table and wonderful staff.

Think it's disgusting that when you complain about the noise level(which was extra loud) on a certain table next to you while eating... that staff(young girl) .... Say that you basically have to put up with it as its a Saturday night and it's busy..... No i dont appreciate dinning and hearing the group of people next to me shouting/talking extremely loud and thinking its funny when i asked them to tone it down a bit when trying to hear my partner speak to me....wouldn't recommend to anyone going there if you want to refrain you're ears from ringing
Disrespectful people

There is a big food menu with lots of options, and the food was nice that we were served, all presented nicely and hot. We had booked a table for an occasion and were really crammed in tight to the wall so really hard to get out of a seat and needing to kneel over chairs and ask everyone to move to get up. Also no table service for drinks means that a few people were always up and down to need to queue at the bar and then no coffees available was a shame. Nice friendly staff and seems very popular as it was a busy afternoon. There is a small outdoor play area for kids. Would come again.
