A wonderful evening for a group of eight for drinks and side plates, seated in the bar area. Fantastic service, great atmosphere and friendly crowd. Despite being a busy evening with office xmas party bookings, we were so well looked after and the bar staff very attentive to our eclectic drinks orders! Highly recommend as a lovely locals pub and great for special occasions too.
