The security here are renowned for picking on people who hesitate when answering how many drinks they had, have a bit of a stutter, a lazy eye or other medical issues, or just because they look different. Unfortunately they've had the same security for a long time now and so nothing has changed. The main issue is the angry looking bald man who is always there. He never smiles, clearly is unhappy with life and takes it out on patrons. How has management retained this guy who is responsible for destroying what was once a great venue? I'd hate to think how much $$$ the bar has lost. Really sad seeing

The manager, I believe his name was Adrian (bald), kicked out my autistic son Paul even though he was not drinking. Do not come to this venue if you expect to be treated with hospitality and a warm welcome.

Unfortunately my review is much the same as most of the others on here. I have been to this establishment many times as I work in the local area. Through the day or for booking functions I have had great experiences but I no longer go here for evening entertainment. After work social events we have gone to this pub. I am always stone cold sober when I am with my staff as I feel it is my responsibility to make sure they are safe but three times now I have been refused entry because "I have had enough to drink", "tonight is not your night love" and one night without a word of conversion told no

Managed to get in just before the kitchen closed and ordered a steak, pizza and steak and Guinness pie. Really disappointed. The meal took 30 minutes to come out. Steak was over cooked and fries were only just luke warm (at best). The salad was out of the fridge (super cold) and not fresh. The pie was supposed to have mashed potatoes but instead had old baked potatoes that were hard and chewie. The pie had little flavour and was dry. Ive seen better pies at the servo. No staff around to really help. No one came by to ask how everything was. Pretty disappointed. The kitchen made no effort to

Nice pub. The beer tastes great. I would give this place more stars if the one staff member hadn't been so rude. When I went to the counter to order, he simply ignored me and served the ladies instead... even though I'd been waiting long before they arrived. Fortunately one of the other staff members finally reluctantly served me. When I went to get my 2nd beer, the Asian lady who served me was very nice. She didn't hesitate one bit and she was most pleasant. Some of the other staff members could learn from her.
