Extensive menu and the food was nice. A few ok ales in bottles available along with the standard cooking lager types on draft. Friendly and helpful staff, cash and card accepted. They have a roof terrace which looked nice but was not in use on our visit which I couldn't quite understand as looked ideal in the sun and provided extra seating outside which would have been useful. Worth trying for a bite to eat or quick drink in the sun.
