When we arrived the pub was closed. Very disappointed we were able to book a table via Open Table only to arrive to a closed pub.

Great pub with plenty of personality. Wait staff had no idea, they need to give table numbers out. Good food and delicious steak and beer.

Overall experience and food was positive, but 3 lunch dishes out of nine were delayed by 10+mins, and one even longer than that - turned out they couldn't identify which table it was for. This was disappointing as it wasn't that crowded or busy and it was very clear 6 of us were not eating while waiting for the remaining 3 dishes to arrive.
