"This pub is genuinely a real-life 'needle in a haystack.' It's so quaint and cute, and all the staff are exceptionally friendly. It's got that lovely old, quaint charm to it."

"Could not fault this pub at all — best smash burger I have ever had! There were 8 of us and nothing was a problem. I'll definitely be coming back to sample the rest of the menu. Could not recommend this place highly enough."

"A FAB Sunday lunch — the beef was beautiful and a very generous portion! The sticky toffee pudding and custard was scrumptious."
