I was actually reasonably impressed by this pub. Despite it being very crowded and a little trendy, it had a reasonable pub atmosphere and an acceptable choice of ales. For some reason I had imagined it would be a typical gastro type offering, but the food trade seems to be mostly absorbed by the upstairs restaurant, in which by the way, the food was pretty good. Deserves way more than its current rating.

Seems ok, landlord was good, pedigree and others all on, middle of the day so quiet but nothing else to report...

Well worth a visit. Last Friday (Dec10th) very crowded but speed of service acceptable. Five ales on hand pumps: TTaylor's Landlord (being changed); Marston's Pedigree; Adnam's Bitter; Sharp's Cornish Coaster and Sharp's Abbey Christmas.

After meeting up for a bit of sport in the park we decided to go in here for a few post–exercise pints as it looked like a decent pub from the outside and there was a fair crowd on the pavement on this warm evening.
We won’t be making that mistake again.
On entering only the Pedigree of the three hand pumps was on and the Adnams and TT Landlord had gone. And , despite there being five staff dressed in the black pub uniform, only one seemed to be involved in serving people at the bar. I guess the others were all concentrating on the restaurant upstairs.
And then that persons inability to recognise who was next to be served was only matched by their inability to pull a full pint.
Despite this we decided to stay for a few rounds, but even this was almost thwarted by them running out of glasses because no one was bothering to collect the empties now covering every table surface.
So looking at some of the reviews below with regards to the upstairs restaurant, I suggest this place sorts out if it wants to be a restaurant or a pub. Because at the moment it’s making a piss poor attempt of trying to be both.
Conclusion…. Very poor.

Excellent food - great value and delicious. Friendly but slow service. You won't need a starter as you get complimentary homemade foccaccia and oil/balsamic for dipping which is seriously moreish. Gets too crowded for comfort on fridays and saturdays.
