    Haddock and chips - very good. Cod and sweet potato - very, very small portions of cod, (two servings) both swamped in sweet potato- not impressed. Service was very friendly and efficient - can’t fault it.

    As usual a lively dining experience. Service was great & we were a large group of 9. Some had the £10 pasta & wine deal which was really great. Look toward to coming back to this lovely pub!

    Another very nice meal. Fish and chip is huge. Be prepared. Was very nice. Son had flat iron steak which he said was very good too and cooked well (medium rare). It's a nice, old type pub with a good atmosphere. Staff always very polite.
