The pub sell bar snacks all day that are homecooked and excellent quality and value for money. If you are after something more substantial then there is the restaurant to the side which is relaxed well staffed. With fantastic prices such as 3 courses for £9.99 you can't go wrong. The staff are all excellent and the pub landlord runs a very tight ship which is what makes it such a great place to go. This is why when you go in you will find all age ranges from young to old. Oh and beer is pretty good too!

Good place to hang out with old friends and drink to your hearts' content. true epitome of what a british pub would be like. The only downfall was that the workers came around rushing us to finish our drinks and get out because they're closing up. Must be a culture thing, we've definitely stayed longer than we were supposed to have in American places and they just waited, yes, i know, we were wrong for staying, we just lost track of time, and always made sure to tip well! But here they aren't afraid to say hey, we're closing, get out! ok ok a lot nicer but basically same message. :) But other than that, I would come back for sure, service was great otherwise.

Pool table (£1 a game) in one side room and a snooker table in good looking condition in a back room. 3 or 4 guest ales on and a large projection screen for the football. Seven years after first getting a pint in here it has now been the recipient of a very sympathetic makeover as part of becoming a community pub. The range of ales has increased (both on tap and bottled), the number of customers has definitely risen and there's a much more of a buzz about the place. Great to see the place with a new lease of life.

I have to say the puddings ar the best part for me too, my husband likes the bill as it never costs an arm and a leg. If you go mon-sat before 5.30 everythng on the menu is 1/3 off, which is a big help to affording to eat out more often. Be warned only go if you love chicken and steak as nearly everything on the menu is based around this. The only down side is you cannot book tables and they cannot accomodate large groups sitting together.

There is a salad bar which you can help yourself to after ordering a meal. The staff are very friendly. The food is served very quickly and I have never had to make a complaint.

On Sundays, there is an offer on which you can order any type of chicken for only £6, this includes chips, corn on the cob and sauces and unlimited salad from the salad cart. The restaurant also offers a third off meal prices if ordered before 6pm on a weekday and 5pm on a Saturday.
