Friendly family run pub

Popped in for dinner with my daughter after a busy day at work. Had seen that it had recently changed ownership/management. Manager Olly very friendly and chatty, food good standard pub grub, had hunters chicken and ultimate southern fried chicken burger. Well presented and tasty. Will definitely return. Good luck to Olly, Soafia and children on turning this pub around, I’m sure you’ll ace it.
