Cracking pub, great choice of beers, tasters offered before serving, amazing bar staff, quality music played on vinyl. All the good bits of a trendy micropub in a good old fashioned feeling local boozer. Magnificent.
Food wise i can only comment on the Sunday roast potatoes which i believe to be cooked from frozen, but with a bit of gravy and no extra charge; it's a 5/5 from me.
Service is second to none, with Elmer himself often manning the pumps; which consist of a wide range of tasty beers from local breweries, and at a reasonable price (often less than a fiver). Patron the dog sometimes makes an appearance, although she is only there to serve up cuddles and good doggo.
The atmosphere is always brilliant; the hum of customers all chatting in and around their friends, to the bar staff and to each other. All friendly and all good energy. This is exentuated by a rock, funk & soul music background, often spun up on the decks at just the right volume to enjoy it alongside all other aspects of the pub and people.
Popped in here to catch up with a few old mates. First impression was the relaxed ambience as I walked in. As an ex-publican you get a feel for when something is being done right. Great pint of Timothy Taylor was going down a treat. Sunday afternoons have a DJ playing a top eclectic range of tunes including a Japanese version of Rawhide. The complimentary roasties with gravy [ use the tongs! ] were crispy and fluffy and very moreish. All in all I couldn't have enjoyed an afternoon catching up more. Elmer the landlord is doing a grand job.
