The service was excellent. The pub was a little chilly. Had a toasted sandwich which I felt had been deep fried rather than toasted and was a little greasy. The portion size was generous.

Everything was exceptionally good! Food, staff, atmosphere, we are already planning to go back. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 40th birthday and they brought us a cake with a candle as a surprise. Everything was delicious and everyone working there is kind even though it’s super busy.
