About This Pub

Ah, The Welcome – it's one of those pubs that just wraps you up in a cosy, olde world feel the second you step inside. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant community spirit where everyone, whether you're a local or just passing through on holiday, gets a proper warm greeting. The karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays sounds like an absolute riot, turning what might start as a quiet night into a full-on party with folks joining in and creating a lovely buzz. And let's not forget, it's easy on the wallet, so you can pop in for a pint or a sing-song without worrying about the cost. On the flip side, it's not all polished up; some have mentioned it's a bit rough around the edges, and if you're not keen on certain music styles, you might need to stick around to warm up to it. Still, it's a solid spot for a good night out, especially if you're up for that genuine, unpretentious pub experience – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, but keep in mind it might be more your thing if you fancy a bit of character over slickness.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's so friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • Karaoke nights are a real highlight, with great vibes and crowds that turn a quiet evening into a lively sing-along bash.
  • It's super affordable, which is perfect for a casual get-together without breaking the bank.
  • They've got a warm, pet-friendly policy, so if you're out with your dog, it's a welcoming spot for them too.
Cons
  • It can feel a bit rough around the edges, like it's not the most polished place if you're after something fancy.
  • The music style might not click with everyone, as it could be a tad off-putting at first if it's not your cup of tea.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews, so it's hard to say if things have stayed the same or shifted a bit lately.

Karaoke with 2 nice blokes who looked like they nicked their shirts off the Chuckle Brothers. Locals made the outsiders feel welcome. Rough round the edges. Had a nice night.

Oh what a feeling!!! Walking in at nearly 8pm, I was uncertain about the place. The music wasn't really my style and there were very few in. I am SOOO glad I stuck around. Once the karaoke started, the crowds arrived. Several small groups that created one LARGE lovely atmosphere! And the people!!! I always love opportunities to meet the people and the crowd, barman and landlady were all wonderfully friendly. It was a dynamic duo leading the karaoke as well. They definitely do as the name says: they make you feel "welcome". So, thank you!
