Welcoming and helpful staff. Great food. Muscles were great. Solid fish and chips. But the black bream fillet was stunning. Sheltered seating out the front. We will be back (5yo and two adults.)

Delicious fish and chips and great portion. Greek feta filo parcels for starter were tasty and different but very small portion for the price. Lovely atmosphere perfect for a cosy pint or meal. Great friendly staff

At about 20 a head including drinks this was a lovely spot to eat. Portion sizes were incredible and food arrived quickly and fresh. Staff were very accommodating and environment was lovely. Reminded me of an old pub nice and rustic with lovely music and nice and warm

Really enjoyed our meal here. The whole pub felt safe and welcoming despite covid, Staff very attentive, friendly and not overbearing. Food was perfect well presented and priced fairly. Was really impressed with my fish pie which was very fresh tasting. Asked for no dressing on salad and that was how it came. Very clean interior. Only downside was drinks were a bit pricey but we were only having one each so overall price was as expected including the meal. Recommended.

Lots of history posted around this pub. Food is excellent. The dish of the day was bream, and you could tell it was fresh. The Greek food is exceptional. This place is reasonably priced for the quality of food and not to be missed.

Loved it! Really great to find a place where you can have a classic pub meal, or change it up and have Greek food! I had halloumi gyros and it was delicious and HUGE, especially for the price paid. Really friendly staff and amazing value for money. Sad I’m not a local!
