Since the pub layout was updated. It has really made it a great layout. Loads of seating but still space to have quiet chat. Tidy and clean. Table cleared regularly. 100 % to visit again

First ever visit to this premises, a surprise birthday party for a colleague, very spacious environment, prices were surprisingly reasonable and helpful staff with no waiting around for service even on a very busy night, great for rugby matches too, seemingly.
