About This Pub
Ah, The Snipe – it's one of those reliable local haunts that feels just right for a laid-back evening with mates. The staff really shine through, always up for a chat and bending over backwards for things like celebrations, which makes the place feel welcoming and full of heart. The menu's packed with solid, affordable choices that deliver on flavour, and with all the live sports action and outdoor spots, it's brilliant for kicking back with a pint. On the downside, I've heard a fair few stories about service hiccups, like waiting around ages or dealing with food that's not quite up to scratch – cold meals or missing bits can put a dampener on things. Still, with its family-friendly setup and overall charm, it's worth popping in if you're in the area; just keep an eye out for busier times when it might not run as smoothly, and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Fabulous staff Tracey, josh, Jason,Nick
Made mums 80th birthday for 14 people. Couldn't do enough for us.
Ordered the gravy burger with dipping sauce.
Food arrived absolutely no 'dipping sauce' not even deep enough to dip anything in.
Asked the server if I could please have some gravy that is meant to come with the burger. 5 mins later he bought the gravy 2 mins after a lady came to say, "Did the server tell you, you'll have to pay for the extra gravy ?.
I'm sorry but I ordered the GRAVY burger for it to arrive with no gravy. A splat was put on the burger and a poor attempt to put some in a pot.
Picture of the dipping sauce 😂
A bland but tolerably pleasant venue with well-kept, affordable cask beer. Unfortunately, my dining experience was disappointing. After being shown to a seat in the dining room, I was ignored by the three somewhat disorganised waiting staff for 20 minutes. They seemed to have entirely forgotten that I was there. I decided to leave and dine elsewhere, as I had little confidence the service would improve or the food would arrive promptly.
Food cold sent back twice, and then was ridiculed by the patronising waitress saying that medium rare steak is supposed to be served cold!! Will not return. I prefer hot fresh food . The whole experience was awful.
Update much improved. But played it safe and ordered differently this time. Apart from chicken being a bit dry rest ok very good value for money . Rated much higher this time !!
I was workingvin the area and frequented the Snipe several times. The staff under Alex could not be more friendly or helpful. The place is clean and well maintained. The food great quality and a good price. I will be back again.
