Love the pub and staff. The food is a bit hit and miss. Not enough light bites choice for lunch time eating at the weekend. Not enough vegetarian options. The crispy haddock pops were large Goujons, sat under them was the supposed crispy salad, which was soggy and wilted in oil. Hope to see the menu change so I’ll come back.

Friendly pub with a nice atmosphere. Offers a selection of local ales. Cajun salmon was tasty. Kids enjoyed their pasta with tomato sauce. Outside seating is covered so it's good even when there is a threat of rain.
