What People Say

According to TripAdvisor and OpenTable diners, the staff are friendly and attentive, especially during busy hours. Reviewers often mention the generous portions of classic British fare like fish and chips, burgers, and pies. Many highlight the great atmosphere for sports fans, but also note that it works well for casual diners just looking to relax before a show.

Areas for Improvement
