Cool place to enjoy beer, really good beer. Welcoming vibes in the midst of Ashley Cross and its hum of music and fun. Planning a return already. Didn't eat this time, but could see others enjoying good food.

Came here last weekend for 'one pint'... stayed for at least 6 and had a burger plus chips with gravy and chicken!? It was phenomenal. All the beers on tap looked amazing (I only had the summer ale) great back seating area and chill front area, everything was 10/10, can't recommend enough. Great vibes all around

Popped in on the off-chance for some grub and a pint on a Saturday afternoon. Really nice food and a good selection of real ales. Staff really pleasant too. We will be trying this pub in the evening at some point
