Overall good experience but the price of a bottle of prosecco at 36.00 was quite high. We were not given a wine list so had no option to choose a bottle ourselves.

Our table felt a little crammed in between 2 larger tables and consequently felt dominated by their conversations/chatter. As for the food, the pork was good, but the beef was particularly poor - tough and flavourless. We both found the gravy extremely salty.

Food was absolutely amazing. Fresh and tasty. I’m glad we booked here. The pub was quiet when we arrived and during our meal but it was quite early but it got busier after 12:30 ish. The music was nice and the staff were amazing and attentive. Service was quick and they couldn’t help enough for anything you asked! 10/10 would return.
