A great pub; everyone made welcome. Even when heaving on a Friday night, everyone makes way for you to get to the bar and you are served quickly and with style. The regulars offer a high standard of conversation and the breadth of clientèle is awesome. The food is not cheap but is varied and excellent. Pizzas from a Victorian oven, regular live entertainment, a huge array of real beers and lagers (just don't expect Stella or Fosters!) and a Landlord as mad as a box of frogs - what more could you ask for? Only gripe is you need to get there early to be assured of a seat.
One extra point: they have letting rooms so you don't need to travel far to your bed. The bedrooms have to be seen to be believed - very high standard, proper wooden doors with hand-forged nails.

Great "real" pub! Best in area! Open fires, wooden benches and large selection of largers and ales. Food is excellent - get there early! Pizza from own ovens on Thursdays!

Just been to Fireworks night and it was brilliant again! Thanks Rob!

Probably the best pub I've ever been to - great service, atmosphere and range of beers. Good food too.
