The atmosphere was created by and filled with locals the service although you had to order at the bar, it was delivered by the waitress. Very friendly very engaging. It’s a place where you feel good about eating.
I ordered the fish and chips and they were delicious. More fish than chips, but that was fine as well. The food was hot when it came to your table. Now both of my girls enjoyed their meals as well. I did sample the rice and it was very tasty.
Highly recommend the place!
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
