Quaint, unsuspecting old-style pub with great selection of beer and above-and-beyond bar food! Their house-made onion rings are incredibly well done with a thick, but not overwhelming, coat of batter and onion that doesn't slide out when you take a bite. The crispness of this appetizer...Read More

A really fun place to stop in for beer and food. They have a wide variety of burgers and sandwiches. We stuck with the more traditional entrees ordering fish n' chips, pasties, and sausage rolls. Everything tasted great, and we had food to take home.

Great hometown pub! The cottage pie and the spicy beef pasties were delicious!!! Just enough spice to give it a kick in the pasties. The mashed potatoes with both entrees were also tasty. We'll certainly be back!
