secure parking good food convenient location
The location is convenient. It is within walking distance to the city center. Parking was secure and off-street. The food in the pub was good!!!
The breakfast starting time at 8 am was a bit late for my schedule.

helpful staff parking space clean room high spend outdated room catering sausages
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.
