I think I’m in love. It almost makes me want to divorce my husband that I left 10 years ago and get rid of the father of my child… THIS is exactly how pubs used to be… but with a massive twist: the food. The menu is small and if smoked meats is what you want, here is the place for you. I insist, really, you must go. It’s clean, welcoming and has a fire going next to the bar to heat the beautiful historic building. There’s a pool table and plenty of seating inside and out. The toilets are modern. The decor eclectic and inviting. Now, the most important bit: food. Heaven in my mouth. Smoked brisket, pulled pork, chicken, shrimp, bbq pork… none of this bought in rubbish. The chips are to die for and I don’t even like chips. The hot sauce flavourful and gives a big middle finger to ‘Frank’s’. Coleslaw… well, forget soggy commercial stuff we all have one person in our life who makes great slaw (Aunty Jean), they can retire now. As you enter through the car park, you see a gargantuan smoke pit to your left. Here is where the magic happens…. Whilst we all sleep safely in our beds each night, the moon aligns with the stars and your meat slowly smokes away for you to enjoy the next day. Ready to pull you from whatever troubles you have in your life, ready to put a smile on your face. Forget ‘hug in a mug’, this is food to embrace your face. Delicious. Moist. Smokey. Melty. Flavourful. Support this type of business. You must. It’s not a chain. There’s no corporate here. It’s amazingly different and quite frankly, I’m in love.
We really wanted to enjoy this meal, being local and not tried the pub with the new owners. It is the worst meal I’ve ever eaten out!I have never sent food back but my main of chicken tikka masala was so obviously over cooked in the microwave it was chewy and burnt. My husband ordered the Donna kebab and he couldn’t even get a fork into some of the pieces they were so rubbery. Add to that, the 50 minute wait in a quiet pub with two small children, I am embarrassed that we paid the full bill.Will never go back and I suggest you don’t bother!
what a fantastic pup, good beer, fantastic food, i had the smoked pork ribs that are smoked outside along with chicken and brisket, great condiments, honest the ribs were fantastic, but the chips were even better, good salad, nice beer, and live music being played,a really good pub, i am taking my back next week thanks nick
