    We had a table of 6 for the monthly Trivia Night which was lots of fun. The beers were cold, the steak cooked to perfection and the other dishes at the table - fish tacos, chicken parma, chicken pie and vegetarian pasta all looked great and were very tasty by all accounts. Have been there many times and will be back again. Always a great night.

    Our first time here to see some live music so we had dinner prior. Staff accommodated us in a location that worked for both the dining and the music as requested. We ordered classic Parma’s which were generous in size, genuinely hot (I cannot express how many cold Parma’s I’ve endured at pubs due to precooking). Accompanied by a small serve of average chips and a really nice fresh salad. Staff were attentive and while it got a little rowdy at times patrons were well behaved. The live music was great but the volume distressingly loud but we were prepared with earplugs. Overall a great first experience and would be happy to come back for other gigs.
