22 Nov 2025 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. First week of opening and buzzing with customers already. Very nicely done up with friendly but rather corporate feeling service. Disappointing beer range with Portobello dominating yet there is a Portobello pub as its almost nearest neighbour.
| Portobello - Star | 4.30 |  | Disappointing being served far too chilled |
