the staff was lovely. the pub had a great vibe. they were really helpful. i managed to find a parking space, quite convenient. the room was very clean, with a couple of water bottles and some sweets, a nice touch.
the bar has a minimum card spend of £10, quite high. i only wanted a half pint but couldn't pay by card unless i bought more. the room seemed like it needed some updating. also, breakfast had catering sausages, not my favorite.
