We've had some lovely reviews recently, I thought I would share.
It's not often people take the time to say something positive but people are always quick to mention the negative, so we very much appreciate it.
Thank you all for your kind words and thank you to all my hard working staff, we couldn't do it without you guys!

Secret Layer
To whomever allowed their dog to leave a trial of poo outside the pub and then proceed to not pick it up.....I hope you stub your toe every day for as long as you may live.
Seriously it's disgusting, I don't know who you are but you are not welcome here.
If anyone needs poo bags you can always come into the pub and ask for some.
