A very popular venue and worth booking ahead if possible. Excellent staff and food of a very good quality. Large menu and reasonable sized car park with a reasonable beer selection. Service has always been fast even when busy.

Called here last night for early dinner. We are new (ish) to the area and having been past this place many times have never been inside. We called for a quick pint last weekend and saw it was a typical chain style pub inside with the normal selection of drinks — a couple of cask offers but dominated by lager and bottles. BUT — what set it apart from a lot of chains was the two young fellas behind the bar. They were both very personable, polite and efficient. we decided then to call back in the week and try the grub — hence this review.
The place was busy with a large table of young families with children — the kids were a bit loud and some of them spent the time running up and down. Its not my cup of tea but I try hard to smile and not be a grumpy old git — lesson learned though next time get there around 8pm as the kids had all departed by then.
I got a pint of San Miguel which unfortunately was warm — when mentioned one of the bar staff said they had an issue on the cooler earlier in the day which might still not be fixed — he offered a choice of replacement straight away so no problem there.
We ordered a mexican burrito for Sharon and I had fish and chips.
I always judge a pubs food on its fish and chips!
Well the grub arrived about 30 mins later (they were busy and they did say it would be a wait)
Sharon’s burrito looked a little unappealing on the plate all wrapped up with a side salad next to it. However on cutting into it a mass of chicken and rice was revealed — she enjoyed it immensely.
My fish and chips looked a little on the small side — frozen chips — not a good start and one star off. The fish was not frozen and was freshly cooked — it was slightly overdone for my taste but tasted good. I have to say even with frozen chips I enjoyed the meal.
Now when it came time to pay for the food the bill came to £12.00. That’s right for both of us !
I thought then even though the fish and chips seemed a little on the small side the price point is just right — good value even. And to be honest I didn’t leave the place hungry at all.
I expect we will be back here in the future.

Nice venue with a large car park. Very good quality food even from the two for £8 menu. Limited selection of ales and ciders and the bar area gets awkward with two pillars in the way.
Plenty of TVs showing sport and the staff are fantastically friendly and efficient. A venue I will be returning to.

Doesn’t look very promising from the outside but quite nice inside especially for a lunchtime drink and some food. Plenty of friendly staff. Prices are good with some special offers on food plus a drink. Always seems a good crowd.

nice pub, superb pint of stella. can get quite busy on promo nights like 2xsteaks/​bottle wine for a tenner, curry nights etc. quiz night also particularly good/​popular on tuesdays. overall a good little local.
