Popped in as staying in nearby hotel & found a great pub. Barman on duty was Dale & couldn’t do enough to help, even ordered our takeaway pizza for us. Highly recommend this pub. We will be back every night of our stay, 10 of 10 for service & welcome atmosphere

Great pint of Guinness and a mighty selection of crisps! Always a very warm and welcoming atmosphere here, it's a brilliant place to watch all varieties of sport and it's my go to any time I'm in the area, though please make sure you bring back the salt and vinegar Hunky Dorys! 😉🙏
