A great pub tucked away in a quiet side street parallel to the river on the east side of the old bridge. Thank you to Amy and Simon for their warm welcome and hospitality.

Rip off avoid. Popped in for a drink, ordered two half pints of lemonade and coke. Barman barely 2/3 filled the glass, had to ask for them to be filled to the top. Then charged £7.40! For two small soft drinks. Avoid this place.

Really nice pub….great prices and lovely outside decking and welcoming, unfortunately the 'locals' are undesirable with foul language in addition to their dogs that need better control. Sorry guys its a balance but your locals are letting you down!!! Looking at other reviews its the same issues… foul language and dogs needing to be left at home.
