Bad service. empty glasses remain on the tables for hours and hours. in this period of the pandemic there is no sanitation of the tables. not to mention the rest of the toilet. pub for male customers only.

Lovely local pub, a little off the beaten track but friendly landlady and well kept beer. Worth a visit.

Wow. How unwelcoming do you want your pub to be. I would have felt more at home walking into that pub on the moors from American Werewolf in London. I pulled up in my car and the moment I stepped out the locals went quiet and just watched me.

Very much a regulars pub, but well priced and great for sports coverage if that is your thing. They only had one ale on (Pride) but it was nicely kept.

Old school and dated probably describe this place. It is definitely a "locals" pub. I did not eat here but the beer was OK, and on a nice day you can sit in the front garden with a "south-ish" facing garden. Definitely better pubs quite nearby..
