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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I arrived at the pub with my brother and the man on the door was rude and very aggressive and said it was ‘one in one out’ as it was busy. He then shouted at us to move back. I was in town showing my...brother the city (he lives in London). I turned to my brother and said I think I don’t want to go in here - the doorman shouted at me and asked me what I had said. I was scared for our safety so we left. I said to him that I would report him to the pub owners and he replied “come back at 11…when I finish’. I presume he meant to ‘ fight’? So we never got a chance to enter the pub and if that’s the ‘warm welcome’ I will never visit again. Your door staff are a disgrace.More

Visited today for lunch,lovely quirky building nice staff, the food was only very “average” with much better locally. My partners lasagne was only “ warm” at best , the 2 small pieces of garlic Bread were limp and insipid. The chef today definitely wasn’t at...their best. Definitely wouldn’t be back again for food.More

I Got recommended this est before we came from Scotland. Paid £22 on an uber and On arrival, we were met with a barmaid eating crisps with a scowl like no other. Not ahi or any greeting whatsoever. It wasn't busy, but every table (upstairs...and down) was dirty with tumblers,food plates or both. TheTwo staff were moaning about why they even work their! If it were my business they'd be sacked on the spot! So disappointed after being so highly recommended.More

Dogs not allowed inside. House beer watery. Probably popular with tourists as locals wouldn't visit a second time in all likelyhood.

Oh dear once again not open on time. Bar badly stocked, bar staff distracted talking about the fact the kitchen wasn't ready for orders. For a lovely building it looked like it needed some TLC. Unfortunately we cancelled our food order and won't be returning....We had to rearrange elsewhere to meet our friends. Perhaps the sign at the front advertising for bar and kitchen staff should have forwarded us. Sorry that's twice we've been let down here.More
