However, there is a charm about this place that I really liked. Sure, it is one of those pubs that has its residents, yet it was quiet enough that I could sit out the back in a really comfy chair and read a book. Well, okay, I was greeted by the dog, which I guess is why I really loved the pub, because a pub with an animal is simply awesome. And the dog is heaps friendly as well (which I suspect is because it is used to a lot of strangers wandering through).

The service was also pretty good, and which it didn't seem as popular, it still did have a bit of charm about it. In fact it did feel like one of those places that would be quite nice to visit again if I was in the area.

Well, I won't argue with them on that one, since I'm certainly not an expert on the matter. Anyway, I do have to say that I liked it, even though the beer selection really wasn't particularly great. Well, it was decent enough, and the pub certainly did have a rather nice atmosphere, though it probably does have something to do with the nature of the crowds that tend to flock here. Another thing was that it did have a pretty cool beer garden, so I'll certainly be giving it points for that as well. Yeah, pretty cool pub.

There are a lot of trendy places in town that charge about twice what you will pay here. The food is generous and the flavor is still there. Add to this the bread, veggies and potato bar area and you have a great meal at a decent price. We had a chicken plate and a Guinness beef stew dish. Both were way too much food but we ate them since they were so good. Drinks were normal price. It could get noisy in there but it wasn't the night we were there. Music was playing over the speakers.

Actually, it certainly stood out from many of the other pubs that I had visited recently, right down to having some rather nice selection of tap beers.

Yeah, I actually quite liked this pub.

The build, honestly, is absolutely gorgeous, and despite this being located in a rather small town, it is still running smoothly. Well sort of because it is only open at certain times, but the owner was more than happy for us to come in to have a beer, which meant that it is another pub that I could mark off my list. Anyway, this pub, as I mentioned, is absolutely gorgeous, even though the beer selection is somewhat limited. Yeah, that in my mind really doesn't matter all that much.

On…read moresomeone's suggestion off the back of a 'new management' article in the local paper we all decided to go out. There were 6 in our group and we got there at about 7:15pm on a Saturday night. We were lucky to get a table! The room was set up as a dining room, homely tables, plates on the wall, coat rack in the corner and original metal press ceilings they are beautifully restoring. There had been a wedding there earlier in the day so flowers adorned every table, windowsill and corner. What an atmosphere! They do table service drinks and food, however we decided to go to the bar for drinks so we could keep it separate. Very VERY reasonable drinks prices. We moved on to the food menu next. It was your typical pub spread of fish and chips, steak and chicken Parma. In between those options was a grilled fish and a burger. We opted for a round of Parmas, a couple of grilled fish and the burger. Let's start with the Parma. Wasn't I pleasantly surprised when a beautifully cooked chicken breast came out with perfect tomato sauce, ham and cheese. I have grown so accustomed to processed Parmas that I was in shock. It came piled high with chips and a garden salad (great dressing!). The fish also went down a treat, apparently cooked to perfection. The burger was the surprise of the night. It came in a brioche bun with fries. My partner wouldn't stop raving about it! By the end of our mains there was nothing left on anyone's plates. When does that ever happen? Despite being too full to move we had to order dessert. Sticky date pudding with ice cream. 6 please! Again, not a crumb left. We had an absolutely perfect meal only made better by the buzzing atmosphere of the room and the friendly staff. Not one mix up and everything was served in a very timely manner given the dining room was full! Easy 5 stars.
