This is a really lovely pub. The new management are great. It’s family run and a lot of care is going into getting things thriving. Prices are great considering the close proximity to the town centre it is. Pool table and dart board available to use which is always a bonus. Karaoke nights, quiz nights and singers booked in so there’s always something to look forward to. There’s an outdoor area with multiple benches for the warm weather. So if you want to go to a pub where you’ll feel welcomed as soon as you enter, with have plenty of alcohol to choose from at very fair prices, this is the one to go to!

The staff here were lovely! The vibes were fun and laid back. They hosted a country/honkytonk event and had the place rocking.

Still one of the rare places I'd happily stop by on my own for a few cheeky bevvies, even 9 months after my first review. Vibrant, enthusiastic and always up for a chat, the family here at the hole in the wall are always a pleasure to see and have a chat with

Pub has been taken over by new owners, family run and is a great place to visit. They are always down for a chat and the customers are very nice to talk too. Would highly recommend.
