Evelyn RC★★★★★

If it weren’t for the reviews here, I probably wouldn’t have tried this place BUT I’m glad we did! The fish and chips were really good, not greasy at all, and the corn fritters were delicious. We paired everything with margaritas, which were great too. Service was fast, and you order at the bar. Ambiance was fun, it was Friday night with karaoke on! Definitely worth giving it a chance!

Ella Gorian★★★★★

Mushy peas and fish-n-chips are super delicious 😋 Zach, the bartender, was very helpful with choice of drinks and Guiness beer is a total must. Loved the place!

Sitara Hayles★★★★★

Zack is a lovely host and bartender. Had a wonderful time with him and he made a good drink. I am yet to try their food but I'm sure it's smashing. Would definitely recommend!

I want to give minus 1 star. No atmosphere, no people, pub was empty.. Staff looked bored Ordered pie of the day, it was frozen in the middle, chips was cold, veg looked freezer burnt. BOYCOTT THIS PUB, DO NOT RECOMMEND
