Visitors rave about the great selection of beers on tap, offering a delightful range for connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Many appreciate the atmosphere—it's laid-back yet lively, making a perfect backdrop for gathering with friends or enjoying a meal solo.
The food garners high praises as well, especially the seasonal specials like the Goat's Cheese Lasagne and the Minted Lamb Shank. Diners frequently highlight the attentive and friendly service, making them feel welcome and well taken care of. Plus, the pet-friendly area is a big hit with dog owners, leaving them feeling included while enjoying their meal.
Most Disliked
Some patrons report a bit of confusion about the ordering process; certain guests expect table service only to find they need to order at the bar. This can lead to delays, especially during busy periods.
A few comments mention that despite the impressive menu, they would like to see more vegetarian options to cater to a wider audience. While the pub offers delicious meals, there’s always room for growth in variety to satisfy all dietary preferences. Lastly, though parking is generally free, finding a spot can sometimes be competitive during peak hours, so be prepared to arrive early or have a backup plan in mind.

I am a truck driver and I was staying at the adjacent truck stop. I'd had a busy week away from home and I wanted to treat myself to a sit down meal with a beverage. I was greeted at the door and sat down quickly. My food was really good, hot and tasty. I would certainly come here again next time I park up.

Great menu food was a bit different than some chain pubs. Friendly staff although we weren't told to order at bar so were just waiting for table service as drinks order was taken at table so hit confusing.

The food was superb. We loved the haloumi and bbq cauliflower kebabs. Service was first class with very friendly staff. There was a dog friendly area inside, which was great as we could get our Alaskan Malamute out of the sun. Would definitely there again.
