"Incredible beer mecca.
42 cask handpulls! Visited on a Tuesday when around 4-5 ales were half price (also on Mondays) and a very good selection. All the beers I tried were great.
A must visit place for anyone who loves beers and good food."

"If you like cask ale you will absolutely love this place, if you don't its still excellent and well worth a visit. They have a huge range of ales on tap, apparently 24 different ones, including many from their own brewery. The beers they have are well looked after and well poured. You can order in pints, halves or thye are more than happy to create a paddle of four thirds. They also offer a good range of other drinks including coffees and alohol free gin
We had a sunday roast and the food was excellent. The portions were large, the meat delicious and the vegetables were fresh and well cooked. They are very clear around what is gluten free and other dietary restrictions.
The staff are all friendly and helpful. There is great inside and outside seating. Cant wait to visit again"
