    Really well run, quality pub. Excellent food, wine and beer. Extra thanks to Meghan for understanding my pressing need for root Ginger. Dinner was so good we are going back for lunch.

    This place could be better with some management. The food was fab!! Really enjoyed it but the service was severely lacking. There was a jazz band playing so the bar was busy and out of the 3 servers only one could make cocktails. When someone ordered with the other staff they made a little scene of how they can’t make cocktails and the other girl is better. This held up service a lot. Very off putting. When We were seated in the dining room, it took a long time to get service. After 15mins we were told the chef hasn’t got the menu ready yet. This is honestly fine however please communicate with your customers so we aren’t left wondering why we have been abandoned. Would definitely be back based on the food. Hopefully management can train the staff a little more.

    Comments are for the restaurant. Great place, staff and tasty, well prepared, good food and desserts. And very nice atmosphere. Easy parking and large garden (that we could use due to rain). Very pleased and recommended. Will visit again if in the area.
