I eat here quite regularly as my boyfriend lives close and LOVES the place. I have to say, I'm coming around to his point of view. The food here is good, not amazing but good pub grub. I particularly like the pizzas, they have a really thin base. The burgers, chickena dn beef are both great and they do this great 'pink sauce' for chips! Spicy and tangy! They had a deal on recently for a burger and pint for a tenner. Such good value. Four of us were eating there recently, one pregnant, so the extra oint was given to one of the other lads. The wine menu is good, nice and cheap plus you can buy wine from their off-license. Four of us had main courses, 2 bottles of wine and 5 pints for 80 euro! you defo can't go wrong. The servie is always efficient and really friendly. Great for a relaxed dinner.

went here last wednesday as I was meeting up with some old freind and. I have had some pleasurable experiences here in the past.I was slightly worried when we first arrived as it seemed very quiet. The menu has shrunk drastically since my last visit and we didnt have very much to choose from. But when the food arrived it certainly didnt disappoint! I had a steak which was beautifully cooked,and my friends ordered pizza which were very authentic an generous with toppings.The barman was very friendly and bubbly. His recommendations as to what we were going to drink were recieved greatly I had a beautiful cab sav and one of my freinds tried an unusual beer the barman urged him to try,he described it as " a crackin drop!" a compliment i think!. The barman also told us a few funny stories and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be returning again soon. Also probably the cleanest pub i have visited in a long time.

Visited last Friday evening to have a drink while waiting for someone, as its very handy for work. Was not impressed by the wine list - only 3 red/white by the glass - Italian/French - no New World. And the barman just laughed when I suggested they could offer a wider choice.. said it wasn't up to him. Service was very average - 2 guys serving the bar, lounge and the off-licence, when they could be bothered to run through to do so..seemed more keen to chat up the groups of ladies. At one stage, little individual plates of what looked like sausages and chips were brought out and given to some customers - but not all. Thought it was a nice touch though, maybe you have to be a "known regular"? Nothing too amazing on the menu, and a couple of blackboard specials, which may have been available for lunch, crossed off. More suited to a lunch venue, which I have had there previously. We went elsewhere for dinner. Did have a look in the off-license and you can buy a bottle of wine to go with your food - there's a corkage charge. Fairly decent selection though - better than the wine list :)
