Proper old fashioned pub. Salopian beer kept to perfection and given that there was initially standing room only suggests the other drinkers agree. Powell's pork pies served with pickle or mustard (or both) are a delight, possibly better than Paddy Ryan's? Try one yourself!
Great food, portions just right, staff very helpful. Recommend the menu. Cater a few main meals for vegetarians. Nice environment and atmosphere. Menu gives enough choice but not overwhelming. Offer small portions too as well as standard portions and kids menu options. Good choice of background music and not too loud. Had minor problem with one of our drinks and staff sorted it quickly and without question. Prices good....about £9 to £10 per main meal and worth it. Puddings £5 to £6. Drinks/alcohol not too expensive either. TV with clips from Red Bull sporting action (quite interesting even for those not into sports like paragliding, BMX etc) plus pop up general knowledge trivia questions. Good to sit and watch on your own in the corner, or as a talking point for a meal.
Friendly staff, good selection of ales. We both went for the pies, I had steak and ale, my wife had chicken, bacon and leek. Both came with creamy mash and a portion of minted mushy peas, plus a pot of delicious thick gravy. 10/10
This is a much improved local pub with good food and friendly service, under new management I had a nice gammon and chips and peas, a crumble, and a large coke for £11.05. At this point in time, that's an incredible bargain! It's neat and tidy, has a pleasant garden, and a good selection of light bites and a main menu, both available lunchtime and for dinner. Support this small pub, especially if you are a local! You will be pleasantly surprised!
2020: Excellent food and fair real ale selection. Comfortable relaxed lounge to the left, more formal dining room to the right. Enjoyed a great night out with friends, will happily return. 2022: I booked in here for a sunday roast (after having been somewhat disappointed with the Beeches) and was hugely impressed. We had a table to the right of the bar in the small dining area (which can get quite loud with its small size and sound echos). I went for one of their standard roast dinners, opting just for the smaller plate rather than the larger one - and the amount was HUGE, representing great value for money, pretty comprehensive with roast plus mashed potato, five veg and yorkshire pud - they'd still managed to cram a large amount onto such a small plate! This is some GREAT home-cooked food and represented great value for money, nice beers, relaxing afternoon - will do this again some time!
