A great pub for nice quiet drink, a great range of ales that I couldn't do in one sitting.This is my local and I love it. The customer service is amazing. This place is dog and cat friendly, as an animal lover I'm in my element.The food is brilliant here, I recommend the cheesy chips / curries / hunter's chicken.Animals, Alcohol and Good Food. What else do you need from a good pub!
