There are indoor and outdoor seating options. Compared to other pubs the outdoor seating is quite good and you don’t just have to stand. The area is by the main road but it’s peaceful. They have events on some nights such as live music etc. If you wish to sit indoor during peak summer, then do not le that there is no provision for air conditioning.
