About This Pub

Oh, what a gem The Nightingale is – it's one of those pubs that just makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in. The food really steals the show; their roasts and seasonal offerings are proper comforting, with generous portions that hit the spot every time. I love how the staff go the extra mile, always with a smile and that personal touch that makes you want to come back. It's brilliant for families or if you're out with the dog, and the beer garden is ideal for soaking up the sun with a pint in hand. They've got live sports on offer too, which adds a fun buzz to the place. On the flip side, do keep an eye on the food hours, as they close up shop a tad early on Sundays, and it does get packed, so popping in without a booking might lead to a wait. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out – honest, welcoming, and just what you'd hope for from a local favourite.

Lovely pub! Amazing outdoor and indoor seating. Incredibly dog friendly and we loved the seasonal menu which was on when we visited. Food was served hot and the portions were just right! Staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful staff and owner. We had an event with family and kieran made everything so easy for us and sorted it all. Everyone loved the food and gluten free options were available too with our buffet. Would definitely come here again! :)

Visited for Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago, lovely food and very welcoming. We were served by Natalie who was excellent Returned yesterday and although our booking wasn't showing on the system, it was no trouble to ensure we had a table. Again, the service was great and the food was lovely. Compliments to the Chef and all the team at the Nightingale.

Popped in for a roast dinner tonight - So impressed! The best roast dinner I’ve had in a long time. The customer service here is second to none, we had a beautiful waitress called Alison, so friendly and smiley nothing was too much effort for her. She really looked after us. Would recommend this pub to everyone! So Refreshing and so glad I’ve found this gem of place. 🫶🏽

6 Adults, 3 children. One child with a dairy allergy. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was brilliant. Our waitress had an American accent, she was amazing. Checked with the kitchen regarding the child's allergy. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend this place to every man and his dog. Will definitely be booking a table here again.
