Well what to say really... Busy little bar with a great atmosphere and extraordinary staff. One individual stood out really though. Oliver what a guy to say the least, was by him self at a busy period and still served with a smile and went above and beyond. Also helped me with busses as I had been to the hospital with a gammy foot. He brought my drink out to the table and made sure I was comfortable which I thought was great customer service skills. Don't know what position with in the company this guy holds but a promotion seems well overdue if he isn't management already. Keep a hold of him rare to find bartenders like this these days. Coming from a Geordie so we're not the easiest crowd. Overall great place would highly recommend

When it first opened after Wetherspoons closed this pub was great. It's still a pleasant place to have a drink - I don't think they do food - but personnel and management changes have resulted in too much indifferent service and the continually changing closing times are a real pain. If the pub is supposed to be open till 11 or 12 p.m., then it should be open till the advertised closing time. Closing early is an absolute no no for me! 🤬🤬
