A fairly large quayside boozer, I don't think you could ever call it cosy but it's nice to see that it's kept its original features well and there seems to be different parts of the bar for different times of the day. Their beer was heavily focussed on usual rubbish lagers, a great selection of local beers from Okells and some exciting craft beers from the UK and further afield. Not a bad place to pop into for a few pints - give it a shot as the quay area is a lovely place to be, especially in summer.

Came back again for lunch with friends. Staff behind the bar…read moreare very nice and accommodating. I had the Pan Fried Sea Bass and asked for vegetables instead of potatoes and without butter etc which they were happy to do. It was very tasty. Everyone else had the much less healthy fish and chips! (I must admit I stole a bit from my wife though!). All I will say is wow and yum! Lovely crisp batter, beautiful flaky haddock and the tartar sauce it came with was excellent. Definitly worth getting! All in all a great pub meal and worth coming here for!

New management team = new ideas!? As of this month, Jan…read more2026, the new pub hours are CLOSED all Sunday, and CLOSED at 7pm on a weeknight - but still open until Midnight on Friday & Saturday. This place WAS once a normal "local" pub - no idea what direction it's heading in - but it's not gonna sell much beer if it's closed...!! Maybe the brewery are after selling it off as a non-runner?? The new manager seems to have had a personality bypass and is definitely NOT very suited to running a real pub; based on the recent changes!

I came here for a charity quiz night and as we hadn't eaten decided to line our stomachs. It was a…read morenice enough evening however when I received the food I have to be honest and say I was disappointed. I ordered chicken wings to start and they were tiny beyond belief. For the money (£6.50) I expect a better portion size. The wings themselves were nothing to rave about and were served with a cheap BBQ sauce on the side. Not pleasant. The fish and chips fared a bit better and to be fair the fish was done nicely however the amount of chips you got (come on its potatoes) seemed a bit miserable. Looking at other items on the menu I noticed they have a 10oz steak for £18. Seems a bit steep but as I didn't have it I can't say much more than it has put me off coming back again. It is average at best.

Well they basically knock together a few houses and call it a pub... Lacking in quality food, drinks very average and really not much to write home about - if this was my local I think I'd only really pop by to meet up with a friend once in a while as opposed to it being a regular jaunt. Serves a purpose, better than nothing up there I guess.

I had the pickled burger, a burger with pickled onions and gherkins. Square patty that was particularly tasty. It was thin and got dried out when cooked. The bun was a nice real roll, not a cheap burger bun. Onion rings were the highlight of the meal. Good and not greasy. Side salad disappointing, small and just some lettuce. Enjoyed the place, a good lunch and not too formal.
