Great communication, easy to reserve table for my baby shower. Staff were very friendly. Really liked that they had delicious alcohol free IPA on draft, loved that! Yummy pizza. Great location and lovely pub.

30th Birthday Party · 45 guests
Great venue, Ed was great throughout the whole lead up to the event and made sure all my questions were answered. Lovely event, pizza was a real hit! The drinks and service was great too. Unfortunately we booked the back room, however there was a mix up on the system so we got the first room next to the outside section. This turned out to be much better as we had an outside area we could use and easy for people to order more at the bar if they wanted. Thank you to the staff who were creative and helped us out on the day to make the experience positive despite the mix up in the bookings! Would 100% recommend it for further parties.
