    We came in for a late dinner and the atmosphere in the pub was fantastic. We ordered the steak and the burger, and both were absolutely delicious — cooked on a real open-fire grill, which made such a difference. The staff were very friendly and gave us great recommendations for wines and cocktails. We’ve just moved to the area and will definitely be coming back!
