Always been a fan of Greene King pubs. As they are always presented well inside and out.

Steak and Ale Pie was absolutely delicious and very filling, highly recommend. Dog friendly, have dog water bowls and treats. Asked for an individual burger for her, not a problem. Great staff.

Great street full of restaurants. Cafes and other pubs
