We had 2 waitresses one of which was training. They were both polite and friendly. For the price the roast dinner was spot on. The meats were cooked beautifully and the vegetables had great variety.

It has a very family-friendly warm feel to it, with open log fires, a heated beer garden, and lots of comfortable seating. I loved the large, old picture frames décor with empty bottles of pricy champagne and whisky filling the window sills. This is definitely the kind of pub I could spend a whole Sunday afternoon in, sampling the merchandise... They do food up until 9pm, and certain things are *extremely* reasonably priced. f you get a basket meal, you get a choice of Scampi, Southern Friend Chicken Strips, Cheeseburger, Sausages, or Tempura Battered Vegetables (all served with chips) for £4.95! And on every day of the week you can get a specific dish for a fiver as well, ranging from Fish and Chips to Lasagna and Risotto. The cheeseburger tasted a bit microwaved, unfortunately but the chips were solid and service was quick. Clientele ranges from those these for a couple pints and the footie to groups of 20 year olds taking advantage of the cheap food and drinks. Will definitely be back, but won't be getting that cheeseburger.

Logan, our server, went above and beyond--something that rarely happens enough for me to remember a server's name. As first-time guests, Logan guided us through the menu with care, helping us choose dishes we'd enjoy. He checked in to make sure we were happy with our selections and even served us the most incredible lemonade I've ever had at a pub. It was refreshing and perfectly balanced--a highlight of the meal! The pub itself is full of charm, housed in a historic building steeped in character. Adding to the experience were the many Charles Dickens decorations adorning the walls--a fun nod to the famed author, who hails from this town. The literary touches tied everything together, giving the space a distinct and playful personality. We shared a variety of dishes, including the fish and chips, chicken schnitzel, and a BBQ kebab. Each dish was flavorful, generously portioned, and perfect for sharing. Between the welcoming ambiance, delicious food, exceptional service, and the literary flair, this visit was a delight from start to finish. I live too far away to be back, but I for sure will tell others to check it out.

There are plenty of seats, we have never had a problem beng seated, even in the most popular times, the height of summer! The bar is well stocked and has a great variety of drinks. The last time i went, they were considering doing cocktails too, extra bonus! The food here really is good, and you are not sat around hours waiting for it either. bear in mind that summer is the busiest time though, so you may have a little wait. Staff very considerate and helpful too!

With lots of food options it was difficult to decide, we were really pleased with our dinner. I had filo pastry pie with salad and my bf had Lebanese chicken salad. We were both impressed with the portion sizes and taste (except he said the Chicken was a little dry) we went on a Monday so this meant 50% off food bill what a bargain! The venue itself is a decent size and has a fantastic view of the harbour. We came earlier in the day and sat outside for a coffee..even in March it's picturesque as long as you have your coat! Was very busy in the eve but the wait on food wasn't long and the service was friendly and quick..advise not to arrive too late if wanting to eat on the Monday food deal.

The food was generally plain but generous enough portions. Salt & pepper came in little packets as did the butter. The fish was served plain no sauces.
