Review Notes:

• Interesting small old pub with a trendy crowd, in a quiet side street.
• Very busy, requires booking.  Our table was only reserved for 2 hours.
• Ambience was good, pubby but dining was set upstairs well away from the bar.
• Simple and straightforward, no fancy tablecloths.
• Our party partook of Chicken, Pork Belly and Beef.  Consensus was all good.
• The largest Yorkshire puddings so far!
• Vegetable selection ok, possibly a little “potato heavy”.  Carrots were delicious and the ubiquitous kale was in evidence, however it was cooked with garlic as a nice change.
• Gravy was flavourful and plentiful. No need to request second servings.
• Good real ale selection. One of the company says “Possibly the second best beer we’ve had”
• No Guinness, but Milk Stout was quite nice, if thin.
• Desserts, the choice was limited but the quality grade A.
