    Comfy and friendly pub that has about 5 distinct seating areas within it. Only seemingly 3 real…read moreales on tap but quite an extensive pub food menu as well as a number of daily specials. We had a dinner and a lunch here and the quality was variable - for one meal sweet potato chips were in a number of cases undercooked yet the fish and chips proved to be well cooked and in fact such a large portion as to remain unfinished. Table service was a tad slow each time although for the lunch we had placed the order prior to Noon, the official lunch start time. Having such a large array of sauces available is a good feature but having to carry seven of them around & swap between tables is something that should be considered for change.

    I've been here a few times over the last few years, with friends, family and for a wake of all…read morethings (these do seem a relatively regular weekday occurrence, to be honest) and part of the 'vintage inns' chain. Reasonably stocked bar (yes, I know, that's something I always comment on!), with decent enough non-alcoholic choices too, including pretty good coffees (in the opinion of my dining companions who actually drink them). I've always enjoyed the sandwiches here, which you can choose with either chips or salad, and I was always happy with their old menu. They've had some pretty tasty puddings in the past too, including a chocolate and peanut butter torte, but PB is always a good shout for me. It is a poke-stop, for those of you who have jumped on the bandwagon (the other one is the church, heads up and all that). There is outside seating, out the front and round the back next to the canal is pretty pleasant, and can get pretty busy in the summer, but the side is a little run down. Foodwise, my only disappointment has been how hugely over cooked was my overcooked salmon, I wasn't too perky about that, definitely should be pink not white in my book, but it was a really generous slab of the stuff. The reason that it's middling in the stars, is that, no matter what time you go, the bar always seems understaffed (enough for someone to stick their hands in the till and run off once whilst we were having lunch there) and the food does take some time to come, so if you want something quickly, or your company is an irritating in law or a dreaded date, this is not the menu for you.
