What they say

Leanne Wedley

There’s been a few new owners / management the past few years and I feel like they are finally getting it right in here 😊 they’ve turned half into a bit more of a bar area with high tables and stools so you do now feel you can just go in for a drink with the other side being more for eating. The menu has gotten much better again, lovely atmosphere with live music and the staff really friendly and attentive

Chris Hill

Really glad we went, food was really nice, service was really good. Especially from a young lad who seemed to be in charge of front of house, might have been called Tom because that was on our receipt. He made sure we knew everything we needed to and was polite and attentive without bothering us all the time, refreshing compared to what you normally get these days! The steak I had was like butter when cutting, it was delicious.
