    Outside was quite dirty and tired. Single use condiment wrappers everywhere and the tables needed wiping. The land lady was a little dour and inefficiently tried to serve me and deal with someone else at the same time. The inside of the pub was historically very interesting. The food was perhaps the saving grace. Good quality and well presented.

    Great fish with the fish and chips, lovely real ale, and good kippers. The young man serving food was smiley but the staff on the whole were miserable. Wonder why. Not a great place for anyone with mobility issues

    Thank you for taking time to review your visit and that on the whole you enjoyed it. I will feedback your comments to the team and apologise you felt the staff were miserable that is certainly not a usual level of service for us.

    Very tasty dinner in the restaurant, really enjoyed the Fish Chowder. Nice old style decor and attentive service. Managed to book reasonably last minute for that evening online.
