Unfortunately found myself sharing the place with an entire coach trip, but that couldn't be helped. I'm not a sports fan but the TVs weren't on too loud so were quite easy to ignore. The cocktail list is short and not very informative. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc which was OK. The fish and chips was good: lots of chunky chips, nice fresh well cooked fish, crispy batter, plenty of mushy peas and tartare sauce. The Eton mess wasn't Eton mess, it was just berries and cream, with no meringue pieces. It tasted OK but was served in a smallish martini glass which felt like quite a rip-off for eight quid. The staff were very busy and evidently quite harassed but still made an effort to be friendly and helpful. Not many options for gluten-avoiders, and I suspect not an option at all if you're coeliac; fortunately I'm not, and can eat fish and chips as long as I eat very little or none of the batter. I didn't love the experience of eating here, but it did provide me with a decent low-stress dinner, and for that I was grateful.
