This pub has a great atmosphere and a lively crowd. The food was a bit too junk food for my taste, but hey, that’s what you get when you go to a local pub. In my opinion, the food wasn’t the best, but the service was excellent. Overall, I would give it a 5-star rating. Great pub, great atmosphere, food was a little to junk for me but hey this is the lub food, still to my personal preference the food wasnt the best, however service very good, so overal 5star.

Very enjoyable experience and nicely accommodated on a busy Saturday evening. Although we didn’t get a table on the restaurant side we found the table on the pub side to be good for us and we were served quickly.

We recently hosted our parents’ surprise 50th wedding anniversary lunch at this wonderful restaurant, and it couldn’t have gone better. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and truly memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and enjoyed by all our guests. The service throughout the lunch was attentive, warm, and professional. A special thanks goes to Simbu, who helped us to organise the event. He was incredibly helpful and responsive, both in the lead-up to the day and on the day itself. Nothing was too much trouble, and his helpful, friendly and kind approach helped to made the event truly memorable. Thanks to Simbu and the whole team, the event was a beautiful celebration our family will always remember. Highly recommended for any special occasion!
