Stopped in for a swift pint this afternoon.
The new management have really made this quite a pleasant pub. Particularly they have freshened up the atmosphere with a lot of new artwork and design touches. The place is very tidy and the beer is maintained well. Good array of games also.
The upstairs is now a nice dining area with room for children. I'll be back in future to give the food a go.
What a lovely little gem, it's very rare to find such a lovely old welcoming pub that still maintains that original old English pub vibe. The staff are lovely and the beer is fantastic it feels like a little village pub in a very busy town. There's an open fire too for a cold day I couldn't of enjoyed my pint more & The staff are absolutely lovely.
An absolute gem.
I visited this charming pub with her indoors and a fine ninety-eight year old friend in a wheelchair.
First impressions are so important, and as one of the regulars held open the door for us with a welcoming smile, we immediately felt at home.
The staff were very friendly and, although they don’t serve Guinness, the house stout was a very nice substitute. The food was very well presented and my fish and chips was as good as any I have tasted.
When the locals heard ninety-eight year old George had been in the RAF during World War Two with one of the town’s local characters (Harry Cottrell) he became the toast of the pub. It made George’s week.
I would like to thank the staff for the welcome and their well kept beer and excellent food and hope they will pass on our heartfelt best wishes to those regulars who made an old man feel so very happy.
I hope we have the chance to bring him back to this wonderful place again.
My very best regards to you all.
