The two stars are because it was cheap and the staff were friendly. Apart from that, I can't find much to compliment it on. The carvery is four massive joints of meat sitting out under lights and you get a single slice of each. The turkey was dry as anything but the others were better. The serving guy doesn't pile the meat up on one side of your plate to leave room for veggies though, he lays it all out across the plate, a single slice thick. As the plate is cold, this immediately cools down the food and by the time you add your veggies and get back to your seat, you have a plate of cold meat. The veggie selection was good but everything I tried was overcooked or soggy, especially the broccoli. Had it even all just been hotter, it would have been a lot better, but it was one of the worst plates of food I've ever paid for. The only saving grace was that it was under £6. The two mains (Him Indoors supersized his main course for an extra £1.50), two desserts (better than the mains although they gave Him Indoors the wrong crumble), a large glass of red wine, a pint of Stella and two coffees came to under £30. Unless you really don't have time to get in your car and go find somewhere else to eat, I wouldn't recommend it here. But if you have no other choice, at least it's cheap.

This being a local favourite for many years, this was the perfect spot to stop on our way to dinner. I really enjoyed this little pub because it was local to where we were and the atmosphere was cozy and more on the quiet side. I quite enjoy being in a pub with friends and being able to enjoy drinks and conversation without having to yell in to their ears or not understand them whatsoever. I also quite enjoy pubs where everyone knows each other, and this pub was just that. Everyone was chatting with everyone and I felt included in everything. Buckshead Tavern, although a bit on the old side, has three TV's, a pool table and a wee casino machine to play if you're so inclined. The women's toilets were clean and massive- always a welcomed sight in pubs. The bartender was friendly and service was quick and efficient. The prices are what makes this place a local favourite, I'm sure. There were 5 of us to start and each round of drinks was only £13.05! If we were anywhere in the city, that would have been enough for two drinks. Bonus for sure. Most definitely be back for cheap booze and great chat.
