Lunch was great in the beer garden yesterday. The food was great and the best draught beer I've had in a long while. The service was perfect. The tall, fair haired guy could not have been more helpful. Deserves a raise.

Amazing vibe, great service - food and drinks came so fast! Food was delicious. Tabs was brilliant and needs a special mention!! She made us feel like we were at home and gave the best service we have ever received at a bar!! Will definitely be back 😊

Food was amazing, such a nice vibe. We love coming down to the local! Service is quick, sports are playing & there’s good tunes in the garden. Tabs sat us down, made us feel very comfortable & has a great sense of humour. Keep that girl on! 🩷

Very steep stairs up from the external entry/exit...
