A brilliant friendly pub with a great atmosphere and a first rate team. We made a last-minute decision to visit on a busy Friday evening, they held a table for us, and couldn't have been more welcoming. Great range of beer, and a reassuringly short and straightforward menu. The food, like everything else, was simply superb.
