This had some really good reviews so I am disappointed to write that my visit here wasn't one that would see me wanting to come back in a hurry. The location is nice, the decor is modern and clean, the staff are friendly, the biggest let down is the food. Our table ordered 2 jacket potatoes and the plates were collected with barely a 3rd eaten yet we weren't asked if everything was OK. The potatoes were brown on the inside and tasted horrible. Drinks were good. Price per person: £1–10 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Lovely find for a Sunday meal! Stumbled upon this pub on google when looking for somewhere to eat after a walk in Soberton. And i'm sooo glad we did because it was great! Food was really nice, good selection for adults and children. Waitresses were lovely and made a real effort to make sure we had everything we needed and edited the menu a bit for my daughter who has allergies. And the pub itself was beautiful, cosy and the music playlist was 10/10. another star added for the play area as was the best quality play area i've seen in a pub garden for a long time, was in good condition and my daughter had great fun.

This is one of our local pubs which has recently been done up. Sadly it is let down be the terrible lighting which is far too bright and destroys any sense of intimacy. The food is pretty average but the beer is well looked after and generally good. If it wants to attract back the locals, it will need to change the lights!!
