This little pub has recently undergone a major refit and virtually nothing remains of the grubby little establishment it used to be. The interior has been completely modernised to a great extent and I must say that it is very pleasing to look at. It has light wooden floors, a huge flat screen TV  to watch all the sports and is absolutely spotlessly clean.

The pub has a bar upstairs with an extensive choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as well as a bar menu. But the locals of the area tend to dine upstairs to eat in the posher dining area. Being on the edge of the surburbs it does brisk trade from the surrounding area attracting a smart and stylish clientel now that it has revamped its image.

There is a good choice of cuisines to select from ranging  Italian,Thai,French,Turkish and British. All the food that I have eaten there since its refurbishment has always been fine and intricate-but it tasted good and was satisfying.

The last time I ate there was only a two weeks ago and I started with the unusual starter of fried soft-shell crab with a brioche and tomatoe confit:it was intriguing and delicious. This was followed by smoked Haddock fish cakes which were thick,succulent and very professionally made. This was then by a main course of  high-quality lamb which comprised of the cannon,shank and cutlets served with a ‘Roquefort Tart’. My partner had roast Halibut with gnocchi worked into part of the flesh and some scallops wrapped in ham.

To finish it all we ordered the cookies and cream ice-cream and nearly died when we saw its enormous size because we were so full  we just did not know how much we could stuff into our stomachs.

The pub serves an excellent selection of wines out of which fifeteen are served by the glass. The staff were friendly,help-ful and knowledgeable about the menu.

Happy Eating!
