- This pub is much bigger than it looks from the outside (Darren)
- Biggest Yorkshire, ever.
- Waitress has a cute outfit, which encourages my environment score of 3.5 (Andy)
- Fish and Chips was above average and oddly shaped in a good way... triangular; not sure where inside the fish this cut comes from. (Neil)
- The service was good, and the venue was nicely decorated. (Franc)
- The mushy peas were interesting in a good way and a bit nutty (Neil)
- The fish batter was a bit heavy and Crisco-ish (Neil)
