About This Pub

Ah, Garricks Head – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant community spirit where everyone, young and old, comes together for a good time. The staff, like Dawn and Ben, sound like absolute gems, always on hand to sort you out without any fuss, which really makes the place stand out. Whether you're there for the footie with mates, enjoying the outdoor seats on a sunny day, or getting stuck into a game of pool or darts, there's something for all tastes. The vibes are spot on for events like the Euros, with an epic atmosphere that gets everyone buzzing. On the flip side, though, I did notice the website's a bit of a pain to get into, so you might struggle to look up details online before you go. And the opening times seem a touch variable, which could catch you out if you're aiming for a late-night session. All in all, it's a solid spot for a relaxed pint or a lively night, and with that 4.2 rating, it's clear most folks leave with a smile – I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area!

The Garricks Head is a proper local... I've been working on site over the last few days.... Dawn (Landlady) and Ben have been looking after me during my visits. Nothing was too much trouble for them.. they were both very obliging to mine and all the customers needs.. Whenever I've visited I've found There's always been a really pleasant vibe and a great atmosphere throughout the pub... With locals and regulars having a good time enjoying the live sports and facilities. Thanks for all your help Guys 🙂👍 Much appreciated (D)

Real family and local hub but open to people experiencing for the first time. One of the best nights out I had. Even to people coming for the first time they will enjoy. Like a local small club in the evening and family pub during the day
