We needed to eat something so we came here and were not disappointed. Attentive staff and a good range of Shepherd Neame beers and some guests. I did not make a note of all the beers on sale.

A busy Saturday evening, staff appeared to be well trained and enthusiastic. One customer at the bar accused me of being anti-Yorkshire when I mentioned that I did not like John Smiths.
