The food is underwhelming, but then again, this was the only place around...

Really poor and sad pub. We arrived at lunchtime to the announcement by a young member of staff was on her own and could not take any good orders until others arrive. I felt for her but she really looked fed up which did not help. Tried the wi-fi but it was one of tbose old ones which wanted to know everything about you so I did not bother. Staff arrived so I ordered a fish finger sandwich ...very poor, no love and the bread reminded me of the old Motherspride.
Experience was a "never again" which was a shame as it really is a nice pub.

I often pop in here and it’s always a delight. The people that work there are always in a great mood and help cheer you up if you’ve had a tough day! Genuine honest people.
