Most welcoming atmosphere, a well-stocked bar, and several small and large tables to accommodate any group or individual. Minimal wait time, a very enticing menu with a huge variety of options, and the food was scrumptious!

Local pub run by a nice husband and wife team that offers a great place for locals to hang out, drink, and have delicious English/Scottish food. My husband and his friend have dinner here often or I will occasionally accompany him. It's a hidden gem and I wish more people knew about this place. The people who run it are super nice and make everyone feel welcome. The prices are low and makes dining out still affordable! We like their crispy tater tots with curry, Yum! The Scotch eggs are delicious too. So are the Garlic and pepper wings and only 11 for 6 or 18 for a dozen. Their Fish 'n Chips is another favorite of ours. My husband loves their mince meat pies. I've had their steak and mushroom pie and that was yummy too. Only 14 with two sides of chips/mash potatoes and mushy peas or beans. So much food too! Oh, you got to try their honey mead too! They have Karaoke on Tuesday nights.

Wow! What a hole in the wall. Came in, and who I assume is the owner, greeted us. She was so sweet and kind. Service was excellent and the food was incredible! Excellent beer menu. I can't believe I never knew about this place. My brother-in-law is from England and has been quite homesick. We have been trying British restaurants left and right and we were excited to come home to tell him about this place. Can't wait to come eat here with our entire family! Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars.

We came with some friends to celebrate a birthday. Choose the patio if it is available. The food was awesome. The fish and chips are amazing as are the wings. The waitress is so laid back and super nice. Great atmosphere.

This place is a little hole the wall. It has a funky smell going on like a dorm room or frat house. I was actually getting a nervous about the food until it came. The fish and chips were fantastic home made chips very nice.

If there is a place with better fish & chips I certainly don’t know where it is! Owner’s are super friendly and inviting. Food is consistently great. An endless list of craft beers! Definitely worth stopping in!

This place worth five stars! I’ve tried the scotch egg, Irish stew, and my husband had classic fish n chips and a cup of black beer. Both of us like the food! It made us feel comfortable and warm. Actually it’s my first time dining in an English restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing. There are flowers on each table. The light smell of rose was just a hint and could level up the dining experience. The only thing might be improved is that the service is relatively slow, because they only have two people working during lunch time. But nothing to complain about because they are really nice people, sweet and friendly. Strongly recommend!
