Sorry R***, I don’t agree with your review.. so here’s my reply 👇🏻
Dear R****,
Thank you for your feedback about our ‘cold & scruffy pub’. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially 2 pints of ‘flat and sour’ Moretti for £12- are you sure it was our pub? 2 pints of Moretti would be just over £10 here.. but who orders a second ‘flat and sour’ pint after the first one?
We strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere and quality drinks, and it seems we fell short during your visit- if it was us you visited mind.
Your comments will be noted, however looking at your past reviews it seems you either love or hate the same pubs depending what year it is & what month you visit. Leaving 3 reviews for the same pub over 18 months tells me you’ll be back again.
We can’t wait to hopefully cook you something that might give us more that a 1* review- so we’ll see you in 2026!
Kind regards,
Simon- Manager, Landlord & Food Critic

We have a right day for it..
Two premier league games, a busy food service already with some spaces still available too!
We also unexpectedly have space for THREE motorhomes for the next 2 nights, all 3 have the option to upgrade to EHU aswell. Sadly no elsan disposal but fresh water & grey water disposal is available
We rarely have spaces available these days, however iver the past few weeks people have been booking & not turning up- which is now making us think of its worth hosting motorhomes in the future.
01653 915324 or drop us a DM
(Please provide name, contact number & vehicle reg) we will confirm your booking, do not expect it to be booked because you’ve sent us a message
