Took my daughter for her birthday, and the atmosphere was really nice and calm. Staff were very polite and helpful. My daughter suffers from anxiety when eating out. I requested a seat in a quiet area, and they did as we asked. Really enjoyed our meal and food was hot.

I ordered the chicken bites, they were delicious however the pub was packed as it was a match day so service was slow but understandable. Friendly bar staff and a lovely location. Cheap beer prices, paused £13 for 3 pints and a coke
