    A pleasant surprise and friendly staff. Unfortunately a number of dishes were unavailable. Tasty and ample portions
    ElementResponded on April 22, 2025
    Hello Roddy and thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! We're very happy to know that you enjoyed the service our hospitable staff provides, as well as the food our chefs cook up! And we're sorry that some of our dishes were unavailable when you last visited us. We were actually launching our brand new menu the day after your visit, so our kitchen team reduced the size of the menu to leave room for all the fantastic new dishes coming in the following day! As our new menu is up and running now, we hope to welcome you back, this time with a full menu filled with delicious options! All the best Team Element

    Great pub lunch before the rugby, also showed another game on tv in the restaurant area. Restaurant and bar area are separate so only people that have booked to eat are in that section, meaning it was reasonably quiet and roomy compared to the bar area which was rammed. Service was a tad slow because of this but that was to be expected and we had loads of time. Very friendly staff and nice food
