    Pub food, which is ok, but don't go if you want a quiet dinner with your other half. Small noisy and unpleasant language abounds plus a very loud band.

    great place - great welcoming locals - small and a bit squishy but at least its genuine. Much better than the stuffy peacock den and over priced acorn next door. Check out open mic night - loved it.

    Great Little Place in the Centre of The Basin. You can listen to Live Music & Get a Meal &/or Have a Pint. Can be Little Overcrowded & A bit daunting at First, But Everyone is Local & Nothing gets out of Hand.
