This is my favourite town centre boozer. There have been some changes here since local stalwart and all-round top bloke Matty died, but the place is as good as ever from a food and ale point of view. Staff are always fab and there's a good craic with everyone behind the bar.
The food is consistently good and I've never had any complaints whenever I have ate here. There is a lot of demand so things run out relatively quickly - a aign of a good place!
It is also reliably one of the best pints of Guinness in the town. They even have the new fangled booze like Cruzcampo, and have a huge selection of spirits, especially whiskeys and gins.
Live music every Thursday and Friday. You honestly can't go wrong here.
Had a fantastic meal here. The food is brilliant. The staff, Annie, Bec and Craig were brilliant. Service was second to none. They really brighten our day up.
Decent to good food (depends on who's in the kitchen, never been bad though), fair prices, 2 4 1 cocktails (has to be the same cocktail), friendly staff, sometimes has a "rougher" clientèle that has made their way up from down the road where they usually reside.
Watch out for the sellers of stolen gear (items from surrounding shops/food from Iceland etc) in a duffle bag that pops up outside from time to time - if they do come into the pub the staff shift them out pretty quick.
Overall, recommended.
