    The pub is a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere & so was the guy behind the bar, he was welcoming & friendly. We went to dine for a birthday meal as we was recommended this pub by friends that dine here alot & the food was excellent, presented lovely, nice & hot & very tasty & I would definately recommend eating here the only down side was the waitress was nice but it seemed a bit of an effort for her to serve us & she wasn't very talkative plus we had to wait a while for the last meal to come out & she didn't explain this to us, so we wasn't sure what the hold up was & we wanted to start eating together. But to be honest my friends said that they haven't seen this waitress before & usually the waitresses are really nice & chatty.

    Fantastic service. Food was excellent, especially from the Bib Gourmand menu. Megrim Sole and Onion/Cheese tart were wonderful. Could have had an extra vegetarian option, but that’s being picky. But…and as a person who likes a drink, the 0% lager was as good as any alcoholic pint.
