A smart, family-friendly former hotel with separate function room, busy every night of the week with a young, diverse crowd. TV screens showing live sport don't dominate, but means the pub is especially bustling when there's a big match on. There is a decent selection of ales, some locally brewed, though prices are above average for the area. Food is served daily until late with discounts and promotions on certain days such as grill night on a Thursday, bottomless brunch on a Saturday and Sunday roasts. There is a comedy night every Wednesday, painting classes on the last Tuesday of the month and speed dating on the last Thursday of every month
