A good local community pub. Nice and modern interior. Not eaten here but menu looked good with plenty of variety. Plenty of TVs to watch sport, including a covered outdoor area with a large screen.

Not close to where we live so won't lie and say I will become a regular! Popped in yesterday for a couple of pints when over that side of town and have to say probably the most Covid 19 aware pub that I have visited post lockdown. Fair play to the team for the work they have put in to try and keep the customers safe. Beer was good as well!
