This pub does what it does well but don't they go on about it! Yes, the chips are real but let's not get too excited about the ability to fry a potato. The menu is poorly written with smug comments about not serving cr*p to children and well done steak being like shoe leather. The beer is very well kept but a wider selection would be nice. The landlord's ego is catered for with lots of pictures of himself and family( and their unsung charity work!) dotted around the place. This makes the customer feel like a visitor in someones home and , as a result, one doesn't feel like outstaying one's welcome.
