have been dinner here many times, food is always good, chicken katsu and their wings are one of the best! In general a great place for dinner and also pet-friendly
1st time I had been here. Will definitely be going back. One lady serving on the day, but she was very efficient and made you feel welcome. Food came quickly, and it was nice and hot and delicious. And watching other meals that came out on the day, I want to go back just to try something different. The pub itself was a little dated and obviously had locals. But it was clean, and you were given just the right amount of attention to make you feel welcome.
I’d rate this place a 3.5 out of 5 based on the following factors:
Price & Value for Money – 5/5
The pricing is absolutely superb—affordable yet offering good quality for what you pay. While it may not be the best meal you’ll ever have, it delivers excellent value. For example, £6 for fish and chips on a Friday, £6.19 for a jacket potato, £9 for a steak and ale pie, or two meals for around £12 is incredibly reasonable. The pricing is definitely on point.
Food Quality – 3/5
The food itself was decent—tasty but nothing exceptional. It didn’t seem particularly fresh, likely cooked from frozen and possibly reheated in a microwave. That said, it was no worse than similar budget-friendly pub chains like Wetherspoons.
Service – 4/5
The service was good, though not outstanding. The staff member who served me was polite, efficient, and attentive to my needs, making for a positive experience overall.
Atmosphere – 3/5
When I arrived around 3 PM, the pub initially felt a bit lifeless. As time went on, it got busier, improving the atmosphere slightly. However, even when more people arrived, the noise levels became overwhelming, making it difficult to have a conversation.
Facilities – 3/5
The gents’ toilets were clean, but the hot water tap didn’t work, which was disappointing.
Final Score:
• Price & Value for Money: 5/5
• Food Quality: 3/5
• Service: 4/5
• Atmosphere: 3/5
• Facilities: 3/5
Total: 18/25 → 3.6/5 (rounded to 3.5/5)
Overall, this place offers excellent value for money with reasonable food and decent service. However, the atmosphere and facilities could use some improvement.
My husband and I have eaten here several times and are never disappointed with the build your own burger! It is always absolutely delicious. The fries are always hot and the perfect texture. I love their onion rings, they're the best I've ever had. The Jamaica sauce, I can't quite remember what it was called exactly, on the chicken wings is fantastic. The prices are very reasonable as well!
Absolutely great. Bar staff was very kind and outgoing to help with everything. The food is a great price. Really enjoyed. They finish serving food VERY early so we won't be able to go again as they are not that local. Thank you!
Top marks and also love the music and darts!
