The Colliers

Verified
4.7(237 reviews)
93/100
The Colliers in Manchester is a cracking community pub with a warm, friendly feel, great value drinks, and live sports galore, though it can get packed and lacks food options.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a welcoming, community-focused spot that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The bar staff are brilliant; they're friendly, efficient, and really add to that cosy, local vibe.
  • Drinks are fantastic value, with well-kept real ales and unbeatable offers that won't break the bank – perfect for a casual night out.
  • It's clean, comfy, and has been nicely refurbished, making it a proper traditional pub that's a cut above the rest.
  • They've got live sports on HD screens, including football, rugby, and more, so it's ideal if you're up for watching the game with a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • It doesn't serve food, which is a shame if you're after a bite to eat with your drink – you'll have to pop elsewhere for that.
  • Things can get a bit too busy on Fridays and Saturdays, turning it into a lively hub that might feel a tad overwhelming at times.
  • It's still finding its feet compared to some mid-range locals, so while it's solid, it might not have all the bells and whistles just yet.

Fantastic pub,superb atmosphere and excellent bar staff...don't serve food..
Sheshe Lock
Under new management, beers ok, same punters from down the Pits along with same tables and chairs. Decent enough but not quite running with the mid range local pubs yet.
Rob H
Probably the nicest comfiest pub I've been in. It's a bit too busy Friday and Saturday, but all that means is it's a victim of its own success. The landlord is fantastic

  • Some inconsistency in the operating hours shown, like varying closing times on Sundays, so it's worth double-checking to avoid disappointment.

The Royal Hotel

The Royal Hotel

4.7(132 reviews)
92/100
The Royal Hotel is a hidden gem of a pub in Farnworth – think cracking home-cooked food, a warm and friendly crowd, and a solid 4.7 rating that speaks for itself.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely top-notch – it's all home-cooked, with standout Sunday lunches and homemade pies that are fresh and full of flavour, all at excellent value for money.
  • The staff and regulars are incredibly friendly, creating a brilliant, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a great selection of drinks, and the overall vibe is relaxed and enjoyable, perfect for a casual lunch or a pint with mates.
  • They're open every day from 12 PM to 11 PM, so it's easy to pop in whenever the mood strikes, and it's not usually packed, which means you can find a spot without hassle.
Areas for Improvement
  • Lunchtimes can get really busy, especially for their popular food service from 12 to 2 PM, so you might need to arrive early to snag a table.
  • There's no website or online presence to speak of, which makes it a bit tricky to check the menu or get more details before heading over.
  • The business isn't claimed on Google, so updates might not be as reliable, and it could mean missing out on some modern conveniences like online booking.

The Walkden Bar is a cracking little spot for fish and chips in Manchester, with top-notch food and friendly vibes that make it a go-to for a relaxed meal, though watch out for the occasional slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think fresh, generous portions of fish and chips, plus some cracking salt and pepper ribs that folks rave about.
  • Service is super quick and the staff are lovely and friendly, making you feel right at home every time.
  • It's reasonably priced, so you get great value without breaking the bank, which is always a win for a casual night out.

Areas for Improvement
  • There was that unfortunate mix-up with a vegetarian order that turned out to have chicken in it, which could really put someone off if they're strict about their diet.
  • The place seems to have some inconsistencies, like the odd service hiccup mentioned in reviews, even if it's not the norm.
  • No website means it's a bit tricky to check menus or hours online, so you might end up winging it when you fancy a visit.

Ye Olde Man & Scythe is a proper historic gem in Bolton, full of character and a warm welcome, ideal for enjoying a pint of local ale and soaking up the atmosphere.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic atmosphere is absolutely charming, dating back to 1251, with characterful interiors, multiple rooms, and traditional features that make you feel like you're stepping back in time.
  • The staff are brilliant and welcoming, always ready with a smile and some interesting stories about the pub's rich history.
  • There's a cracking selection of drinks, including local ales, ciders, and lagers – the Flat Cap cask ale is a real standout and spot on for a proper pint.
  • Live music on weekends adds a lively buzz to the place, making it a fun spot for a night out without it feeling too rowdy.
  • It's great value for money, with delicious pasties from the hot cabinet that hit the spot if you're after something simple and tasty.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options are a bit limited, just pasties and the like from a cabinet, so it's not the place if you're after a full meal.
  • It can get quite busy at times, especially with the live music, which might make it feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet chat.

Unity Brook Inn is a cosy pub in Bolton serving up cracking Thai food and a friendly vibe, but it's worth noting the occasional service slip-ups that might catch you off guard.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, especially the Thai dishes – it's like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a local pub, with authentic flavours that really hit the spot.
  • Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal or a drink with mates.
  • It's reasonably priced, offering solid value for money without breaking the bank.
  • Outdoor seating is surprisingly comfortable, even if it's near the road, perfect for a relaxed summer evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss, with some reports of being asked to move tables suddenly or facing delays in ordering, which puts a dampener on things.
  • Recent reviews show a dip in quality, like one bad experience where someone hadn't even tried the food yet due to poor service, suggesting it might not be consistent.
  • They seem to struggle with bookings and takeaways, sharing the same phone line, which could lead to frustration if you're trying to sort something out quickly.

The Morning Star is a welcoming local gem in Manchester, serving up tasty, affordable grub and drinks with a lively community vibe, though it's not without a few small niggles like inconsistent food prep.

Areas for Improvement

  • It can get a tad chilly inside at times, so you might want to wrap up if you're popping in during cooler weather.
  • Service can feel a bit stretched during busier moments, with not quite enough help around to keep things running smoothly all the time.

Kings Arms Hotel is a welcoming pub in Farnworth with friendly hosts and comfy rooms, making it a great spot for a relaxed stay, though it could do with more up-to-date info.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The owners, Joan and Alan, are absolute gems – they're super friendly and always go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, which really adds to the homely vibe.
  • The rooms are spotlessly clean and surprisingly well-equipped, with handy touches like a kitchen area, fridge, microwave, and even an iron, making stays feel comfortable and practical.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere for a pint and a chat; you can enjoy a game of pool and a great selection of real ale, plus some tasty food options throughout the day.
  • Plenty of visitors rave about the value for money, especially for longer stays, with comfy beds and strong showers that make it a solid choice for a budget-friendly getaway.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website is a bit of a letdown – it's sparse and doesn't offer much detail, which might leave you scratching your head when trying to find out more before visiting.
  • There's no info on operating hours, so it could be a faff to figure out when you can pop in, and that 'closed' status is a tad concerning – best to double-check before heading over.
  • With no recent reviews to speak of, it's hard to tell if things are still as tip-top as they were a few years back, which might mean the place has lost a bit of its sparkle lately.

  • It's only open a few days a week, mainly Sundays, which can make it tricky to pop in spontaneously.
  • As it's run by students, the service might occasionally feel a bit nervous or inconsistent, though that's part of its charm.
  • With limited hours and high demand, booking ahead is essential, and you might miss out if you're not quick off the mark.
  • The overall selection is more focused on fine dining rather than a classic pub vibe, so it might not hit the spot if you're after a casual pint and snacks.

Blue Café in Farnworth is a cracking little spot for a hearty, affordable breakfast with friendly service and a welcoming vibe.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cooked breakfasts are absolutely spot on – folks rave about the Blue Café special, with everything cooked to perfection and plenty of choice on the menu.
  • Service is always friendly and quick, making it a lovely spot to pop in for a bite without any faff.
  • It's incredibly good value; you can get a full meal with drinks for around £15, which feels like a real bargain.
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it's kept nice and clean, which adds to the overall charm.
Areas for Improvement
  • One little niggle is that they put milk in the teas by default, which might not suit everyone who prefers it without.

The Horseshoe is a charming historic pub with a welcoming vibe and tasty grub, but watch out for the occasional service slip-ups that might leave you wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Horseshoe has such a rich history, dating back 300 years, and it's in a brilliant spot right by the River Irwell, making it ideal for a relaxing pint after a scenic walk.
  • The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, always ready with a smile and a chat, which really adds to that cosy pub feel.
  • They serve up delicious homecooked food that's locally sourced – the menu has a great variety of pub classics that hit the spot every time.
  • The beer garden is a real gem, well-maintained and perfect for enjoying a drink outdoors, especially on a sunny day after exploring the nearby trails.
  • There's a lively events scene with things like quiz nights and folk groups, which makes it a fun spot to catch up with mates or meet new faces.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, with some folks mentioning long waits for food or the odd mix-up with orders, which puts a damper on the experience.
  • Recent visits have shown it's not always hitting the mark, with a few complaints about getting squeezed into awkward spots or not feeling looked after properly.
  • It might not be the best choice if you're after a quick bite, as things can drag on, leaving you a tad frustrated when you're hoping for a smooth evening.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – quick service, tasty dishes like burgers and bangers and mash, and it's all well-priced for a great value night out.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, with a peaceful vibe inside, live sports on the telly, and a lovely beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun with mates.
  • Family-friendly setup with a kids' menu full of classics, making it easy for a relaxed meal with the little ones.
  • Loads of community spirit and special offers, like 30% off mains, plus it's a hub for watching big sports events with a lively crowd.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's currently listed as closed, so you'll need to double-check the opening times before heading over to avoid disappointment.
  • From what I've seen, the menu sticks to pub classics without much variety, which might not excite those after something a bit more adventurous.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty classics like puy lentil cottage pie and Sunday lunches that offer great value, leaving you feeling well satisfied.
  • The staff are a real highlight; they're incredibly welcoming and professional, with servers like Janet adding that personal touch that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's a charming spot with a homely atmosphere, complete with beautiful gardens, crackling log fires, and even dog-friendly areas, making it ideal for a relaxing outing in a historic setting.
  • The location near rivers, canals, and nature reserves is brilliant for a post-meal stroll, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a bonus when you're out and about.
Areas for Improvement
  • As it's a popular traditional pub, it can get quite busy, especially on weekends or for events, so you might want to book ahead to avoid any waiting around.
  • With moderate prices, it might feel a bit steep if you're planning a long session with drinks, though the quality makes it worthwhile for most.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • They've got an incredible selection of over 140 gins, all served with perfect garnishes to bring out the best flavours – it's a gin lover's paradise!
  • The live music and sports screenings on multiple TVs create a buzzing, electric atmosphere that's perfect for a fun night out with mates.
  • Their own micro-brewery offers some cracking cask ales, and the cosy booths and spacious beer garden make it a great spot to relax, especially in the summer.
  • Prices are spot on for what you get, making it an affordable choice for a good time in the town centre.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get really busy, which might not suit everyone if you're after a quiet pint – the crowds add to the vibe but can feel a bit overwhelming.
  • There have been some reports of less than ideal interactions with security and management, like questioning folks about disabilities, which is a shame and could put some people off.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's a brilliant spot for catching live sports with HD screens showing Sky and BT, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening with mates.
  • They've got some cracking drink offers and a variety of options, including cocktails, all at affordable prices.

Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve food on site, which might leave you a bit disappointed if you're after a proper meal with your drinks.
  • There have been a few reports of less than ideal staff behaviour in some reviews, which could put a damper on the vibe.
  • Despite having all those hand pumps, they don't offer cask ales, so if that's your thing, you might end up feeling let down.
  • The pub seems to rely heavily on drinks and sports, so if you're looking for more entertainment options, it might feel a tad limited.

The Jolly Carter is a welcoming local pub in Bolton with some cracking Sunday roasts and a buzzing vibe, but it's let down by steep prices and inconsistent food quality – worth a try if you're in the area, just keep expectations in check.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday roast is absolutely top-notch and offers great value for money, making it a real winner for a traditional meal out.
  • The staff are brilliant, especially when they're handling a busy bar and still getting food out quickly – it's impressive to see.
  • It has a lively atmosphere, particularly on Friday evenings, and the drinks are reasonably priced, which keeps things enjoyable.
  • There's a good variety of food options that seem to please most folks, with plenty of choices across the menu.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices have shot up and feel more like a high-end restaurant than a cosy pub, which can be a real shock for simple dishes like sausages and mash.
  • The menu's become quite minimal, so you might not find as many options as you'd hope for a standard pub grub experience.
  • Food quality has taken a dip in some cases, with reports of burnt items like paninis that just aren't up to scratch, leaving you disappointed and still peckish.
  • It seems the place has gone downhill overall, based on recent visits, so it might not live up to its reputation every time.

Elephant & Castle is a welcoming, budget-friendly pub in Bolton with tasty food, cheap drinks, and friendly service that makes it a great spot for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are incredibly affordable – like getting a Guinness for just £3, which is a real treat these days!
  • The food is spot on, with delicious options like chips and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, or that spicy chicken burger with waffle chips – it's proper comforting grub.
  • The staff are warm and welcoming, often going the extra mile to make you feel at home, even in tricky situations like keeping the kitchen open after a mishap.
  • It's got a lovely local atmosphere, feeling like a good old-fashioned pub that's family-friendly and perfect for a casual catch-up in Bolton town centre.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website seems to have some issues, like access errors, which might make it hard to check out menus or details before heading over.
  • Operating hours aren't clearly listed anywhere, so you might end up turning up when it's not open, which could be a bit frustrating.
  • While it's charming in its traditional way, it might not suit everyone if you're after something more modern or fancy – it's very much a straightforward pub vibe.

Drinks only. Very cheap price. Local atmosphere, just a good old fashioned pub with a good pint. Guinness for £3, not complaining.
Robert Turner
Poppy, Marie and Kelly where friendly and inviting, they even kept the kitchen open specially after they had a major incident, would highly recommend a visit as you will surely return.

Moorside Farm is a charming Swinton pub with a welcoming vibe, ideal for a relaxed drink in the garden or with the family, though do check on the food options first.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and make every visit feel warm and welcoming, just like chatting with old mates.
  • They've got a lovely pub garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun with a pint and some good company.
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, so you can pop in with your furry friend without any fuss.
  • Service is generally quick and efficient, even for larger groups, which keeps things flowing nicely.
  • The atmosphere is family-friendly with events on offer, making it a great spot for gatherings of all sorts.
Areas for Improvement
  • There seems to be some inconsistency with food service; one account mentioned no kitchen available, which could disappoint if you're after a proper meal.
  • Parking might be a tad tricky at times, as it's reserved for visitors and could feel a bit restrictive.
  • Occasional minor delays, like with certain dishes, might pop up, though the team does apologise and handle it well.

Farmhouse Kitchen in Worsley is a welcoming, family-oriented spot with tasty food and attentive service, but watch out for the occasional queues that come with its popularity.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome, like having a chat with the team while you're there.
  • The food is spot on, especially the carvery and vegetarian options – plenty of hearty portions that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank.
  • It's a brilliant spot for families, with things like indoor and outdoor play areas, making it easy to bring the little ones along.
  • The place is clean, spacious, and has great facilities like a car park, disabled access, and even EV charging, so it's hassle-free to visit.
  • They've got some lovely deals and offers, like affordable afternoon teas, which add a nice touch of luxury to a casual outing.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, leading to queues for drinks, ordering food, and even waiting for the carvery, which might put a dampener on things.
  • Sometimes the wait times for seating or your meal can feel a bit long, especially if you're popping in for a quick bite.
  • While it's generally well-run, a few tweaks could make the flow smoother, as it's not always the most efficient experience.

The Moss Rose is a charming little pub in Bolton with a warm, friendly atmosphere and plenty of entertainment, though it might not suit late-night plans or food lovers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a great selection of beers, including some non-alcoholic options, which is perfect if you're driving or just taking it easy.
  • Loads of fun activities on offer, like a pool table, dart board, live sports screenings, and even live music events that keep things lively.
  • Plenty of outside seating and parking, ideal for a sunny day or if you're popping in with your furry friend.
  • It's a clean, well-run spot with events like the Sunday quiz that add a real community vibe, and it's great for celebrations.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be hitches with some events, like open mic nights where not everyone gets a turn, which could leave you a bit disappointed.
  • Food options aren't really highlighted – I didn't spot any menus, so it might not be the go-to place if you're after a proper meal.
  • The closing times seem a tad early for a pub, wrapping up around 4 PM typically, which could cut your evening short.
  • No website means it's trickier to check out what's on or get more details before you head over.

The New Inn is a cracking little pub in Manchester with a friendly vibe, affordable drinks, and some great entertainment, though there might be a few bumps with management changes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's warm, welcoming, and has that classic old-school pub feel that makes you want to stay for another round.
  • Staff are super friendly and quick with service, which really makes for a pleasant visit every time.
  • Prices are reasonable and drinks are cheap, so it's easy on the wallet for a night out.
  • They've got live bands on the weekends, which adds a brilliant buzz and turns it into a proper lively spot.
  • There's a great beer garden that's perfect for sunnier days, and an excellent pool table in a separate room for some fun games with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub's operating status seems a bit unclear right now, with mentions of it going under new management, so it might not be as stable as we'd hope.
  • No website or phone number listed makes it tricky to check what's on or get in touch if you need to.
  • While the reviews are mostly glowing, there aren't many recent ones, so it's hard to get the full picture of how things are going lately.

Areas for Improvement

  • Staff can be on the quiet side at times, which might leave you wanting a bit more chat and engagement

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • The food is spot on, with delicious options like stacked burgers, crispy fish and chips, and a standout Sunday roast that keeps everyone coming back for more.
  • It's a brilliant spot for families or special occasions, with a welcoming atmosphere, dog-friendly vibes, and even private rooms for events like christenings.
  • Set in a lovely picturesque village, complete with a beer garden and handy facilities like WiFi and parking, it's perfect for a relaxed day out or evening unwind.
  • They've got some great deals, like lunch specials and seasonal twists on classics, which add a fun element to your visit without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be a few small niggles, like the occasional lack of decaf coffee, which could disappoint if you're after a caffeine-free option.
  • While the overall rating is solid, some visits might not hit the mark every time, as not every review is glowing – it's worth checking for consistency.
  • Portions can be generous, meaning things might disappear quickly, but that could leave you wanting a bit more variety in certain dishes.
  • Opening hours are fairly standard, but if you're hoping for late-night options on weekdays, it closes a tad early compared to busier spots.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking atmosphere, especially when big sports events like the Women's Euros are on – perfect for catching the action with mates.
  • Food comes out quickly and there's plenty of great choices, like that beef and ale pie which sounds spot on.
  • It's got some lovely facilities, including a beer garden that's been spruced up, and it's dog-friendly and family-oriented.
  • Overall, it's good value for money, with honest pricing that won't break the bank for a solid pub meal and a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • Sometimes the little details slip, like serving beer in the wrong glasses or running out of ice, which can put a dampener on things.
  • Tables don't always get cleared promptly, so you might end up with a cluttered spot after a while.
  • The service can feel a bit lackadaisical at times, like staff not going the extra mile for simple fixes.
  • A few recent gripes suggest it might not always live up to expectations, especially on busier nights.
  • As a Greene King spot, it has that chain feel, which means it might lack a bit of that unique, cosy local charm.

Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can be a bit of a drag, especially when it's not too busy, leaving you twiddling your thumbs longer than you'd like.
  • The quality of the food isn't always consistent – some dishes might turn out bland or overcooked, which is a shame after all that anticipation.

  • With regular deals like 30% off mains, it's great value for a casual meal or a swift pint after a long day.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty busy at times, especially during peak hours or events, which might mean a bit of a wait for your table or drinks.
  • The operating hours listed seem a tad confusing with varying times for the same day, so it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any surprises.

  • A few dishes might not be as spicy as you'd hope, though that's down to personal taste, so it might not bother everyone.

  • The bar staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, quick, and make you feel right at home.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere with great music and a lively DJ on weekends, perfect for a good singalong.

  • Fun touches like a pool table and showing big games, ideal for a casual hang with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The toilets are in a right state – freezing, horrible, and badly in need of an update, which puts a damper on things.
  • A few folks have mentioned it feeling a bit unwelcoming at times, which is a shame for what could be a great spot.

Really good quality I love it such nice staff
Paige Gaskell
Bar staff great, Open late with good music. Toilets are the worst thing about this place, they are freezing, horrible and drastically need updating.

Went there yesterday to watch the England v Iran game. Great pub and great bunch of guys! It's also got a pool table too and the beer is very cheap! I had coors which was only £3 a pint.

Dukes Gate is a welcoming community pub in Manchester with a great buzz, top-notch beers, and plenty of entertainment, though it has a few hitches that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of Joseph Holt beers, along with wines and spirits, plus some cracking special offers like Fizz Friday to keep things affordable.
  • It's a proper community spot with loads of entertainment on offer – think pool, darts, live music, discos, karaoke, and even live sports on the TVs, complete with a free hot dog at half-time.
  • The heated outdoor area is a lovely touch for when the weather's playing ball, and they've got a separate space for functions and parties, which is spot on for celebrations.
  • It's child-friendly until 9pm and has disabled access, so it's accessible for everyone looking to pop in for a relaxed pint or gathering.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few instances where service wasn't up to scratch, like reports of a hostile welcome or staff enjoying a drink while on duty, which can put a dampener on the evening.
  • Families might find it tricky as children have to leave by 9pm, so it's not ideal for late-night outings with the little ones.
  • The opening times start a bit late on weekdays (from 1pm), which means it's not great if you're after a cheeky morning pint or an early meet-up.
  • Some reviews mentioned issues with facilities, like bathroom access, which could be a minor nuisance on busier nights.

We attended a friend's birthday party here staff were nice and friendly. The party was in a separate room which was nice. Anyone with children had to be out by 9pm

The Black Horse is a charming local pub in Farnworth with friendly vibes and decent drinks, but it has its ups and downs with atmosphere and service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The bar staff are really friendly and polite, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Drinks are relatively cheap, which is a nice touch for keeping things affordable on a night out.
  • They've got good food and great beer on offer, perfect for a satisfying meal with your mates.
  • It's welcoming to families, with kids allowed, so it's a versatile spot for all sorts.
  • There's plenty of TVs for catching the latest sports action, plus a lovely beer garden for enjoying a sunny day.
Areas for Improvement
  • The atmosphere can feel a bit dead at times, like it's not buzzing with energy when you'd hope.
  • It might get quite cold inside, which isn't ideal for settling in with a pint on a chilly evening.
  • Food quality isn't always spot on – some have complained about a disappointing breakfast buffet that was sparse and underwhelming.
  • It's apparently the most expensive pub in the area, which could make you think twice before heading there regularly.
