A
surprising
find
on
a
Friday
night.
My
Wife
and
I
stumbled
upon
this
place
by
chance
as
we
were
in
town
for
a
wedding.
From
the
outside
it
seems
like
a
generic
pub.
The
menu
outside
the
entrance
hints
there
there
is
something
different
-
ribs,
interesting
burgers,
and
the
ability
to
buy
meat
to
take
home;
our
interest
was
piqued.
We
went
in
to
find
the
place
fairly
busy.
Not
packed,
but
there
were
only
perhaps
two
tables
available.
A
moderately
trendy
vibe
without
trying
to
be
pretentious.
Jeans
and
t
shirt
were
as
welcome
as
something
a
little
smarter.
We
found
two
seats
right
next
to
the
kitchen.
These
were
bar-type
seating
rather
than
a
full
table,
but
were
plenty
big
enough.
There
was
also
seating
outside.
The
staff
were
friendly,
if
busy.
Ordering
was
via
the
till.
There
was
a
good
selection
of
beers
and
other
drinks,
but
the
food
is
certainly
the
main
event.
The
kitchen
was
wonderfully
run
by
two
chefs,
with
occasional
assistance
from
the
waiting
staff.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
watch,
seeing
as
we
were
sat
right
next
to
it.
We
had
deep-fried
macaroni
to
start,
they
arrived
as
sizeable
arancini-like
delights
covered
with
fresh
hard
cheese.
The
plating
was
perfect.
My
Wife
had
the
chicken
burger,
which
comes
as
a
Caesar
salad
re-imagining
with
a
coated
chicken
breast,
Caesar
sauce
and
garnishes.
Mine
was
a
pulled-pork
topped
beef
burger
with
a
lightly
picked
slaw.
Their
black
pudding
add
on
was
wonderful.
Although
we
didn’t
partake,
the
meat
counter
has
a
butchers
selection
of
meats
which
you
can
purchase
to
take
home,
or
select
to
be
cooked
for
you
there.
This
includes
steaks.
We
spent
£60
between
us,
including
drinks
which
I
thought
was
very
reasonable
indeed.
This
was
a
wonderful
local
find,
vastly
superior
to
the
chains
further
down
the
high
street.
The
food
was
excellent
and
the
whole
experience
was
memorable.
I
would
happily
seek
it
out
if
I
am
in
the
area
again,
and
you
certainly
should
too!
