Great little pub been coming here for many years.

Great little hidden gem of a pub in the city. Food was great and seasonal, and I had the turkey poutine. It hit the right spot on a very cold December day. However, the only downside was that the place wasn't as warm and cosy as it should have been. Some of the other customers also thought this as they kept their winter coats on whilst having lunch.

Came for a birthday on the terrace and unfortunately it started raining. The staff were so helpful and kind in relocating us inside so we still had a great time. The atmosphere was lively but felt safe and everyone including staff was in great spirits. The drinks were really nice and the food too.

Came here for the Sausage & Cider Festival. Place was busy with a lovely beer garden which included a roof terrace. Cider selection was really good and we tried several options. Staff were nice and manager was very helpful. Food itself was very nice but not worth the price, way overpriced for how much you get. Also another dog friendly venue.

Difficult place to describe, beers are ok but nothing to write home about, a rather odd interior layout, with an outside courtyard. Needs something to stand out, to be memorable, the food and drink just don't cut it at the moment.
