Guestbook
“ Great value meals, pleasant spacious area that is warm and with an view of the town and hills. Recommend the chicken wings trio. Loads for £7:45. Great service too. ”
“ Was having a fun time until a group of youths came in. Not one of them was asked for id. No bar staff approached them to ask for id. Orders 2 puddings. My friend got kicked out and barred and threatened with police cos of them. Then minutes later the group of youths got asked to leave. Then after about 20 minutes my boyfriend was taking a picture to be approached by bar staff to be asked to leave as he was supposed to be videoing the staff members. We left but will never be going into this establishment again ”
“ From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how fantastic and welcoming this venue felt. The staff were genuinely friendly and made me feel at ease right away, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. The decor is beautifully done — stylish, comfortable, and full of character, creating a space you actually want to spend time in. As for the food, it was okay — not bad, just not the highlight for me. But honestly, it's not always about having a Michelin-star meal. Sometimes it’s about the vibe, and this place absolutely nails it. The energy, the people, and the overall ambiance make it a spot I’d happily return to. This venue is just awesome ”
“ This was a great restaurant to visit, with a well-presented counter! The layout is flashy, staff were friendly and the service was fine. I had a Chicken burgers with chips followed by Raspberry Vodka and a Coors, although the portion was a bit small. ”
“ The new owners Black Star Pubs have done a great job. The decor is fresh and inviting. The new menu is similar to Wetherspoons as are the prices, although you must buy drinks separate now. The food quality and presentation are far superior to anything Wetherspoons ever provided. The burger was moist and juicy, onion rings crisp, bacon was tasty, the chips were crisp yet fluffy. As for the gammon and eggs. It looked like 5* service. 2 thick slices of gammon, 3 fried eggs, plenty of crisp fluffy chips dressed with fresh herbs. The gammon was great, full of flavour, and so thick. The eggs were perfect. Definitely worth coming back for. My only issue is done tables are not wheelchair friendly. The door was hard to get through and the new seating area near the bar makes it hard to get to the bar. Especially in a wheelchair, my wife tried and ended up being skipped over by staff as they couldn’t see her over the high bar. But that doesn’t detract from the amazing food and great prices. ”
