I agree with the previous comment about the smokey atmosphere. Staff weren't that friendly and the loo's were in need of a good clean and some soap. Water was also scalding in the loo upstairs!

Not all that really. The beer ok but pub got a bit too smokey and was very clicky. I'd been there about a year ago and wasn't that impressed, and unfortunately not much has improved, looking a bit tatty and the tables could do with a wash.

Very strange place. From the outside it looks like a roadside diner, and inside it feels more like someone's living room than a pub or bar. Obviously has a lot of regular customers.

Still, it was very clean and obviously had fairly new furniture, with pleasant bar staff and decent beer, and whilst it was fairly quiet when we went mid-week (about 10 people) you got the impression that it gets quite a bit busier over the weekend. Worth a visit, although I suspect most people will either love it or hate it.

A great pub run by a woman who's got a good idea of what people want. It's very clean and service is immediate. Can be a bit quiet and possibly a touch cliquey when the locals are together at the bar, but it's only to be expected given the pub's location. The DJ is great and the music is crowd pleasing stuff. Pool table out the back and a little patch of a garden for the hot days.

Bit clicky with the locals but overall an ok pub for a quick beer before going on somewhere else
