We hired the function room. The room is amazing. Clean nicely decorated. Lots of space.
Bar was good, plenty of selection of drinks.
We hired their resident dj. Great music, great energy, could not recommend more.
We also bought buffet food. This is the reason for the reduction in stars. Looking back at what should have been on the buffet we ordered, there were things missing. Whilst there were lots of sandwiches, some of the other bits were lacking in number. When spending near £500 I was expecting more. I'm going to phone the pub to discuss and will update the review.

Disappointed that despite it being advertised as a sports bar it is reluctant to play anything other than football. When big comps and games are on for other sports we shouldn't need to beg to have 1 t.v. showing them.

Good friendly atmosphere. Went in unbeknown to me that Derby were playing forest but it was all good spirited on both sides. Friendly staff, cheap lager on top. Lovely outside seating.

We visited this pub for a birthday party, so it was quite busy and that meant we had to park streets away because the car park and road next to the pub were full. Everything else was good. The bar was busy, but the staff did well getting everybody served in good time and the event room we were in was set out well. There is an outside area for those wanting to cool off or have a smoke.

Lovely bar, friendly atmosphere. Function room an odd sort of shape with multiple levels which was a bit segregating. Need to improve the toilets too. Good selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. House DJ is amazing and well worth booking.
