Amazing food, good selection of drinks great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will be back to visit again next time we are in the area

Really nice place, excellent service, food is good and the portions are massive! Fantastic value for money.

Polite staff and given the option for indoor outdoor. Dog friendly covid compliant. We ordered the ham, egg, peas and chips. Very reasonable priced.
