This place has gone from strength to strength under different management.
It has SO MUCH POTENTIAL to be more than it currently is but it needs somebody to give it that love. I don't feel the current management has done, or is doing that.
If I could afford to buy the place and give it the love it deserves, I would.
It's a sprawling property with ample space for great events. There's a little stage for bands and musicians and a great fireplace for the winter months. It's pet-friendly and a good few dog lovers bring their furry friends round for their afternoon pint.
The atmosphere is relaxed and family oriented. The menu pricing seems to have gone up since the last time I was there but the food is still good so it's mostly a fair wager.
There's a jungle gym for bigger kids and a little kiddie area for toddlers. There is also two trampolines and a sandy area for kids to play.
The bathrooms are clean and decent but could also use just that little bit of extra warmth.
The interior is saved for the non-smokers and decorated with positive affirmations like "friends" and "fun". It's cute but the place could use a lot more homeliness. There's potential for quirky gadgets, flags, music regalia and oddities that I believe would attract a lot more people here.
The waiters and waitresses were alright but seemed tired and bored.
For these reasons I've rated it 3 stars but it has the potential to rise to 5 with the right humans taking care of it.
