First Sip
Open and welcoming inside. The layout from alterations or extensions have made the inside into different zones. It was almost too warm in the dining area we were in, but the other dining section towards to toilets was empty and much cooler. It was a Monday so I assume that area wasn’t being used.

Looked great.
Service Level
8 / 10
Very attentive and friendly.
The Beer Garden
6 / 10
Picnic benches off the car park. One type of bench was surprisingly small and I was uncomfortably close to the people we were there with.
Pub Grub
7 / 10
The falafel seemed more like a side to the dish than the main event…The lamb looked very good though.

The Pub Privy

Pretty nice single-stall toilets which were single-sex. A comment from someone we were with was concern regarding the shared area for both men’s and women’s stalls.
