    Excellent Music Quiz

    I attended a ‘live music quiz’ at this pub (first Thursday of the month) and it was terrific fun. The Quiz master actually performed the questions for the quiz live rather than using CD’s or whatever. He was also very handsome and came across as...More

    Many thanks for this, the music quiz is great fun. I like to tease the quizmaster by suggesting he lacks a little self confidence! Although I’m an avid Spurs fan we welcome supporters of all clubs, especially Arsenal fans who could do with cheering up....More

    Sunday Lunch

    An excellent roast Sunday lunch...Great value. Pies including a veggie option looked good too. Will return. And a rare find in a town full of impersonal wine bars...a proper pub.

    Best Sunday roast

    Well worth travelling from London to eat here, its a lot cheaper than London (£15 prices). Great food and great staff. Could not fault anything. 10 out of 10.
