    Lovely place, bit too many dogs inside while eating especially when they decide to chuck up. Food was lovely, drinks were made good. Will go again. We had a selection of drinks, food and puds - food was from the 12 onwards menu.

    My ‘local’ so I’m a bit biased but great little place, with a great selection of Titanic beers and guests, and great food. Always busy and dog friendly.

    Went for a Sunday breakfast and I’m so pleased did. They served us the most perfectly cooked eggs and sourdough. Great service. A perfect spot for a post Hem Heath Woods walks coffee.

    Good choice of beer, wines, spirits, coffee, tea and soft drinks. Main menu only available until 3pm, then pizza menu only. Outdoor seating is popular. Parking difficult as you rely on street parking, which can mean a walk to the venue.
