    Disappointed to say the least. Me and the boys arrived to play a very well anticipated gig at such a fine establishment. Upon arrival we explained we were the band and in response we got a row of blank faces as if they’ve never heard of one before, which is rather hard to believe as they do have a sign outside saying “live music every weekend”. Then the manager explained there was a band playing last night which must’ve meant there’s no room for another performance tonight. I then opened my phone to a previous message between ourselves and the ring o bells which was an option of whether to play the 7th July or 5th November. We went with the 5th as it was the only one we had available. To cut a long story short, an agreed date and time between a band and a venue should no longer be taken as confirmation. It’s safe to say they won’t be ringing my bell any time soon

    Good beer. Shame you can’t get away from the music noise - they even have speakers all over the garden.

    Had a band on when we went, they were great. Bit of a wait at the bar despite lots on, think we stuck out as none local.

    Had a few here last night before going to dinner nearby. It's a good sized pub with outdoor area too. Good range of draft beer & lager. Bar staff were fine but the guy in the white t shirt who I guess is the landlord served the chap next to me so I thought right i'm next ... he just looked at me and walked off to the other side of the bar and chatted with his friends... disappointing attitude

  • 3/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice pub with lots of choices to drink, and sky sports too.

  • 5/5 John U. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local pub with good range of real ales that change regularly and with local bands playing on Saturdays. Sport shown on a number of screens but there is a room where you can escape to if sport is not your thing, plus a large outdoor seating area that is fantastic on sunny days.

  • 5/5 Steve P. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a funeral tea and was very impressed with the buffet and friendly service

  • 2/5 George W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice trad pub but why they still use autovacs is beyond me.

  • 5/5 Gem H. 1 year ago on Google
    Always nice and busy when we come at the weekend. Football shown on large screens throughout. Great selection at the bar

  • 4/5 Vicky L. 11 months ago on Google
    Really good old school pub with friendly staff and a decent selection of drinks. Dog friendly with plenty of seating and a large beer garden. Only minor complaint is sometimes when the sports on, the TVs are way too loud, but it's a small issue in the grand scheme of things.

  • 5/5 Jim R. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent pub with interior of historical interest. Good real ales and food available. Often busy daytimes during week with parties visiting from nearby crematorium.

  • 5/5 Russell C. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this place. Really friendly welcome every time and the Amstel is always spot on.

  • 3/5 Laura M. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice, traditional pub., friendly staff, good choice of hand pumps and regular. Very loud TVs but we did go during and England match, so may not always be like that

  • 3/5 Stewart D. 6 months ago on Google

  • 3/5 Sorscha 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent pub in itself but i would never go on quiz night again. It kind of defeats the object and the community aspect when one of the teams is clearly cheating (and not even being subtle about it) and the compare doesn't care. We weren't sure if we were the only ones who had noticed but a girl from the team nearest the cheaters went up to him afterwards to ask if he knew the 'winners' had been cheating. Apparently he thinks that's "just part of the fun" or words to that effect and is fine with it. According to one of my team, they had done the same thing last week. I'd go here again for a drink if i happen to be passing but a quiz needs to be a proper quiz for me, so i wouldn't go back just to see how many of the answers that team can google. Also didn't really appreciate the compare's style. I don't know if he'd have moderated his 'banter' if there had been anyone of colour there that night but frankly it doesn't matter. Some of that 'jokey' language was just not appropriate.

    We were there, by chance, for quiz night. Atmosphere was great, decent selection of beers, we had a great time.

  • 5/5 Jade F. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent pint, only fault is not serving food late but not being able to take food or order food in. Apart from that all good 👍

  • 4/5 Craig M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub, used to frequent this boozer in it's hayday (mid 70's).

  • 3/5 Siobhan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great band playing there. Great range of reasonably priced alcohol. Staff could be friendlier

  • 4/5 Alison M. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the beer but not the (very loud) music

  • 4/5 choggaz C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice pub to be fair. Had a few pints here on Friday. All I would change is that I would get rid of table service for bar service (but that's just me) good pub otherwise and a good selection of ales and lagers.

  • 5/5 Samuel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pub and fantastic atmosphere. The beer is fairly priced and nice and cold. A pleasure to visit.

  • 4/5 George S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent choice of drinks. Great service. Very friendly staff. Definitely will visit again.

    My sons birthday had a few drinks outside it was a lovely evening plenty of space to sit out

  • 5/5 Andy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a chance visit here and thoroughly enjoyed the good selection of ales. And just to cap it off there was a live Ska band playing all afternoon in the beer garden and a selection motor scooters on display. All round great place.

  • 1/5 Robert A. 2 years ago on Google
    Sat outside on a lovely evening, sad to say table service was absolutely chronic, don't think we'll bother calling again
