Small car park but lucky to get a space. Walked in and it was really busy and could barely move. Asked at the bar how long the wait for food and got told it would be quite a wait but they luckily had a free table upstairs. Lots of choice on the menu maybe a bit too much choice. Ordered at the bar and didn’t have to wait long for food. Right amount of food for the plate and really enjoyed the Dirty Fries which had perfectly cooked steak with it. Waitress asked if we needed anything else with our food and nothing was too much for them. All 4 of us enjoyed our meal and would go back again. Worth the price for the amount of food.
This local Pub turned out to be just what we were looking for. The pub was recommended by a local it was extremely busy and it was essential to book as it was very busy.
The staff were super friendly and provided home cooked food of the highest standard with equally good service at excellent prices that didn’t break the bank. My lamb shank was excellent along with all of our parties dishes. Can’t recommend this establishment more.
Nice location! Great service and friendly staff. Apple pie was too sour for me but again could be personal preference. Hunters chicken was also too sweet.
They have the traditional welsh dish – lamb cawl. It was pretty good. The red cow burger is HUGE. so if you are famished, that’s the one for you. It’s fresh and yummy. Could do with more vegetables but it’s just me being a vegetable type person.
There are many different types of beer. Love that there are local ales for us to try.
Where do you start?
I hade to ware sun glasses when I entered the bar as the smiles on each of the staff were radiating so much. Very nice to see.
Regarding the food, it’s had to go wrong with beef lasagne but it’s very hard to go the other way. And boy oh boy, it was very nice. Also it’s very appreciated to actually see “real” chips.
My wife’s hunters chicken was double up with tons of sauce.
So the question of: was it worth the long road; yes it is. Go there and enjoy.
Side note; the beer is front a local source and very nice as well.
