Signs everywhere saying food served until 9pm, but when we walked in, we were told they didn’t serve food at all. I mentioned the signs plastered outside about food, and he just kept repeating, “we don’t do food.” We went somewhere else and ate (spent £90) then walked down the canal, which led to the beer garden of this place, and there were people eating food outside. So clearly, it is a very biased place that doesn’t like people from out of the area. We went to Tommy’s pizza bar across the road, and it was absolutely incredible.

Went in for a drink whilst passing through. Awful place, whole pub needs a deep clean, bar steward scruffy and miserable and warm wine. Wouldn’t like to eat here.

Called in here with a friend ..good local boozer, classic sort of layout. People and staff were pleasant enough. Beer was standard but well kept. There was a group in from a barge trip, it was quite lively but still friendly. We didn’t eat here.
