The food was good, service was slow, but they were a tad busy. The best part of the experience was that they allow dogs into the pub, and my dog was with us at the time. Now I have an excuse to go to a bar ... my dog, Bruce, feels like a drink. The locals were friendly and welcoming, especially to Bruce. I will be back

This is a quaint pub&grill to which the locals flock for great drink and quality food. The portions are enormous for the relatively low prices they charge. The food is of great quality and although you're going to wait a while it will be amazing and worth it as all food is made with love!!!! The atmosphere is relaxing with many seating options at the bar, inside or outside. They have a pizza oven too so this pub has a twist to their menu! And hidden is a game room for some added entertainment. Definitely a place to visit when you're this side of the world and looking for something casual and comfortable. The service was personal which was delightful. We ordered starters of calamari strips to share. There are daily specials to on the menu for you to try. I would recommend the Seamans basket for anyone in the mood for something fishy. There is enough food to go round!!! The trichado was also lovely with a fresh bun!!!
