Love this place in almost every way... Great staff, great selection, fast service, pub quiz, cosy vibes, all fab .... but Jesus Christ the deep fried cauliflower is the worst thing that's ever happened to me! Couldn't even face bringing it up with the staff, how did it even get so wrong?! Onion rings were pretty rough, just oily... but the cauliflower... tasted like it was deep fried and then soaked in vinegar? My friend got it on a separate occasion and also could not eat it. Would recommend pulling that option entirely, and improving the onion rings a bit.

My local, my fave 🙂 never dissapoints. Secret beer garden is just perfect in all seasons. Occasional live music, great food (especially the Sunday roast).
