“ Lovely pub with great food. Went all out with the Christmas lights. Very impressive and the kids loved them ”
“ 60th wedding anniversary party. Could not fault a thing. The room, decor, food, service and the delivery were brilliant. Only one complaint all night, no John Smiths available. Highly recommended. ”
“ Hosted an Aussie leaving party in the upstairs function room for around 100 people. The staff/management couldn’t do enough for us from start to finish. Didn’t wait more than a minute or two to be served all night, don’t know how they kept up but they smashed it! 10/10 would definitely recommend ”
“ We popped in today for some late lunch and mini Celebration. It was lovely to have an immediate warm friendly welcome from the staff. The ordering process was easy, menus were provided at the bar and we were told about the specials which were also available. We ordered the tomato, mozzarella and pesto wrap from the main menu (will definitely order again) as well as potato skins and the beef dip from the specials. The portion sizes were great, reasonably priced and the good old fashioned real chips were a delight! So nice to have such a family orientated business on our doorstep. Thanks Rachel, Omar and team! ”

“ An absolutely amazing experience! I took the kids out for tea, and we were all thoroughly impressed. The service was incredibly quick and efficient, making it perfect for families with little ones. The food was not only delicious but also fresh and satisfying, exceeding all our expectations. The best part? All of this came at an unbeatable price of just 5! Exceptional value for such quality.
