“Has the feel of both a good local pub and a more continental atmosphere. The Owners accept no Chav! Food is second to none and the live music a must. Nothing competes with the summer gigs in the garden. Oh…and of course…the beer is definitely drinkable. Always worth a few more minutes walk from the Queens Road set. Give it a go.”
