Love this pub… considering I’m not a usual fan of pubs for dining… it’s a great one. Always busy… good vibes. Reasonable cocktails, great food with seasonal produce. Sunday roasts are amazing too. The steak is delicious… and the bread with whipped butter I get every time. Service is always good… my fourth visit and I’m still returning :)

We love the parakeet! Food and service always 10/10. The espresso martinis were very bitter this time though, which was a shame. Still, a fab dinner!
