Absolutely awful experience. I popped in hoping for a quiet pint with my assistance dog, only to be told no dogs allowed — not even assistance dogs. Completely unacceptable, and frankly shocking in 2025. There isn’t a single sign on the door stating this, so you only find out after you’ve walked in and been spoken to like you’re doing something wrong. It’s not just bad customer service — it’s disgusting behaviour from a business that should know the law and at the very least show some basic respect. The whole place had a miserable atmosphere anyway, and after this, I won’t ever be going back. I genuinely hope people stop supporting pubs that treat disabled customers like an inconvenience. There are plenty of much better places that actually welcome people instead of turning them away at the door. Avoid. Completely.

Confrontational landlord that doesn’t know the Law on Assistance dogs and Equalty act 2010. The “man” wouldn’t listen and was totally unreasonable. I admit I used a word that I shouldn’t have but I am on the autistic spectrum which is one of the reasons I have an assistance dog.

Quite like the place to sit and write about my day, although I have been asked to leave twice, once for invading someone's privacy,(think he thought one was writing about himself), he admitted reading through my personal private notes whilst I nipped outside for a cigarette, I'd call that an invasion of privacy! and once for not drinking fast enough and taking up a table of four although there were plenty of empty tables and people were sat more or less next to me whom I spoke with. The Man who works behind the bar is great and was good enough to look after my bottle of milk so it didn't go sour, he is also a great Disc Jocky. like the place so much I even helped clear some tables.

A little run down but, the beer is cheap compared to other pubs in town. Loads of lively action in there including karaoke.
