    Really pleased with the newly refurbished venue. However the music got turned up part way through our visit and it did seem a bit too loud. It was quite hard to hear others in our group speak.

    Great service there was a mix up with the booking. We were booked for Sunday lunch but they only do it once a month on the 1st Sunday, the manager booked us in for January and offered us a free lunch in the bar area. Lunch was good the burger was excellent but the steak pie was just ok the gravy was very watery. The staff were very attentive and friendly, even though the bar area was very busy. We will certainly be back for our Sunday lunch and there is a lovely outdoor terrace beside the bar which we will visit during the summer.
