The noise in the pub on Friday evening made it unbearable to hold a conversation over drinks and dinner. Never had a concern with food at the pub as it is always good value for money.

Delicious pub food at a reasonable price but if you want to have a conversation choose another venue. Great venue but they need to invest in some sound dampening

This is a pub that has good quality food. When booking you will have to find the table reserved for you via a sticker on the table. You may find your table taken by walk-ins. Pop up to the bar to get it sorted.

This as a great place for dinner, food was great, service was great but not good if you dont like noise, could not hear ourselves think had to yell to speak. But overall I would go again but maybe not on such a busy night.
