Matthew Burrell
We stayed Sunday 31st August 2025 On arrival the staff were friendly and attentive despite being busy. There was a football match on the big screen and the pub was packed but despite this we were quickly shown to our room. The room.was lovely, well presented and clean. My wife and I had an early start (4am)and we had walked around a lot during the day so we were absolutely shattered. The showe...

Room was immaculate and the bed was very comfy. We enjoyed having a few drinks at the pub on the outside tables. Stayed to attend Wireless Festival and the location was perfect.

No fault of the pub, London was baking that week. Would defi...

On arrival the staff were friendly and attentive despite being busy. We sta...

It’s a gem for watching sports, which is why my partner and I chose it on 3 May 2025 at 16:30 to enjoy the Arsenal vs. Bournemouth match. However, this visit was a huge letdown. We were...
