Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were going to Queens Hall just up the road and was looking for somewhere nearby for food. Read the reviews and liked the idea of a locally sourced meat for burgers. Burger I had was just with cheese and very nice, you could taste...the difference over the usual burgers from other establishments. The portions of waffle fries others had were very generous. Decent selection of beers. Quite a small place, we were lucky to get the only empty table at the time. A very eclectic clientele and a nice feel to it. Staff were pleasant.More

Great place to visit - has a great atmosphere. The staff are really welcoming. Not bad for gluten free beers either. Great place!

We popped in yesterday with friends after seeing a show at the festival and unfortunately the bar person who served us was very unhelpful. We asked for specific types of drinks and rather than give us substitutes she just said no we don't have it!...So we offered substitutes which they had and we ordered. We only stayed for one drink and left. Not friendly at all.More

The staff were amazing and friendly. The food came out very quickly - the Chorizo Mac and Cheese is a must have! It was tasty and a generous serving. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was amazing and despite there being a couple of tiny hiccups the...staff were apologetic and just generally pleasant which made all the difference. The atmosphere was lovely, good music, clean and cosy. Very nice cocktails to finish off!More

We came on an evening prior to a pub quiz so most tables were already reserved. We wanted some food however the majority of meals were no longer available and we did not arrive late in the evening.

This was a good old pub. Nothing fancy does what it says on the tin. Nice nachos with pulled pork and a couple of drinks. Average prices.

Came for a drink and some quick food on a weekday night. We had booked a table, however when we arrived we were told that there were no tables available, only to be told moments later that there was in fact a table available for...us? One particular member of staff was quite short and it took us several orders to get our drinks and food. The drinks, food and atmosphere were all good, so perhaps we just caught a bad day when it came to the service.More

The food was delicious and at an affordable price. We got a 3 dishes of small bites to share and it was plenty for 4. Student discount available in Greenmantle. The atmosphere was nice like any other pub. The bar is clean.

Decided to give this place a shot after a some sightseeing with my family. So happy we did. It was late afternoon, so not crowded, and such a welcome relief after walking down that way and not finding many other atmospheric options that also allowed...kids. The food was almost a surprise it was so good and the service was exceptional. Would definitively recommend this place to others.More

it is not always easy to find a tasty vegetarian burger in a pub which also offers very meaty options... This place however, managed to tick all the boxes of choice, tasty, fresh, and well presented. I would suggest to go on a Tuesday as...they offer 2 for the price if one, which is the best value. Portions are on the the slightly smaller side, but other than that I thought it was super and I will most definitely return for another occasion.More
