Stuck in the 70's and that's it's charm. Great real ales, clean seating and ooldy worldy log burners. Nice staff and friendly locals, egg man walks round selling his own chickens eggs from that day too. Highly recommend. Try their food too!
Visitors from Marske Utd.,real ale aficionados. Loved it. Pub with real atmosphere
Great place to meet after work. Super beer choice and snacks available. It's been a long time since we went to a traditional pub of quality that also sells fresh local 🥚🪺 eggs!
Absolutely adore this place. Pies are very tasty, the cheese and onion Cobs are amazing, but very filling due to the amount of filling you get. Always have loads of different ales on. Good ciders too. The staff are absolutely brilliant, have an artist quite regular. Atmosphere is great especially when a regular turns up and plays guitar. Dog and children friendly.
Quiet when I went in on a Friday afternoon, but really nice pub. Good selection of ales and lagers and reasonably priced. Very good service, efficient and friendly, felt welcome the moment I stepped in. It's a little out of the way for me so I don't get down there as often as I would like but I've always enjoyed my time here, I've been in 3 or 4 times before with friends.
