Awesome pub food and service. Recommend the whale and chips along with the flat iron steak. Standout was the outstanding sticky toffee pudding with fab icecream. Also must mention the gorgeous view. Service was friendly and helpful. Thankyou again.

The three people whom I was with ordered the Sunday roast and I had the fish and chips. My meal was good, but all three of them sent their roasts back twice as the veggies were cold. Eventually the manager came out to apologise, and all three ordered the fish and chips which were good. I thought that it was good of him to fix the problem personally.

Reserved a table online with request for accessible table due to broken leg. When we arrived a suitable table had been reserved for us. Good food & good service
