My Parma was delicious. My friend ordered steak. Decent size, about half the steak and chips were eaten when I took the photo. Except this was their 'medium rare'.. My friend and I ordered separately and theirs came out 15 mimutes before mine... Salad was just lettuce drisseled with dressing. Overall it was fine, but much room for improvement.

It was overwhelmingly mediocre. Calamari was clearly frozen and tasted like a freezer, no seasoning to speak of. Pizza was cooked well (I’d hope so seeing as how they have a pizza oven) but again just lacked any flavor. Red sauce tasted like canned tomato puree. The very least they could have done is add some seasoning to make a nice passata. Burger was, how should I say, minimalistic. Bacon and caramelized onion were the main toppings but the caramelized onion was either pre made a long time ago or came from a jar. The drinks were decent through and they have a nice dining room, very family friendly, our son had a nice time which is always a plus. I wouldn’t come back here for dinner, the prices did not justify the quality in the slightest. All of the food just looked sad. I would definitely come back for drinks. Drinks were reasonably priced, few local beers on tap and the bar area was clean and comfortable.

Great friendly service. Lovely food with minor off menu changes applied. Table being cleared in a timely manner. To me that’s a wow factor as it’s nice to have a post meal chat without dirty dishes at the table. This impressed me as I like to have a post meal chat and drink.

Hosted my birthday upstairs, they couldn't have been any better. Easy to organise, and the staff were all fantastic on the day. The food was phenomenal. They also catered well to kids. Highly recommend

Great to have our local pub operating again. Always a good atmosphere there. The food is always tasty. A small negative is that the menu is a little restricted and could do with some more options - especially desserts.
