Great place to visit. Only place showing football, Everywhere else on a Tuesday night decided to have an open mic night or quiz night. Even let my son stay until full time so he could watch the whole match.

Horrible place. Apparebtly ordered two drinks with two different bar man by mistake. Bar manager got aggressive instantly rather than trying to resolve the situation
Shame as he is losing money for the Bar and the owner. No attempt whatsoever to resolve. We are 32 years old. Not some troublesome kids.

Good surroundings but beer, particularly 'Ghouly' was atrocious.. Very vinegary and when I told the staff about it, just trying to be helpful, not even to seek a replacement, they didn't seem particularly interested. Pub was relatively busy so the lack of attention might have had something to do with that.. Who knows.

As a pub it looks ok, buy don't go in for something to eat or you will be bitterly disappointed. You pay for an adult carvery and get a small plate that looks like it's been cleaned with a floor cloth. Definitely won't be eating there again.
