The owners are slowly renovating this hotel which is making it much more pleasant to visit. After a long absence I was pleased to find that the food is still good. The prices still make it great value. The service, as always, is great.
This is one of those old pubs that have been around for a long time, so dont check out the decor too closely. Just go and have a lunch time drink with friends. They have fantastic drink specials and I really like the upstairs balcony bar. Plenty of people there, and the staff behind the bar are really friendly. It is what it is, an old pub....with a few stories to tell.
