I had a full on relationship with the food - it tastes fresh, tasty, seasoned beautifully. Their gravy is fantastic. Portions are generous. Their servers are absolutely lovely too! And its such a nice aesthetic inside. You can even bring your well behaved dogs inside which is a bonus! Oh and ask for their chocolate tart. You will NOT regret it.

Nice pub with a decent food selection and good atmosphere. Really enjoyed the Korean chicken wings. The staff are so lovely and the best you'll find in Bala. In the winter get the table next to the fireplace

Visited on a Sunday for lunch as a group of six. The food was excellent and the portion sizes massive for the money. Staff were attentive and entertained the kids. The mood is pleasant and relaxed. I would certainly return here again.
