This place is huge, it has a front bar for sport and pool, a back bar which is split into 3 sections and a formal restaurant. It is the sort of pub that you find lots of families at enjoying a meal - that is where this place excels... it does good food.
We had the fish and chips and the spatchcook. The spatchcook was fantastic, a whole little spatchcook on a base of veggies... really fantastic. The wife was looking forward to the "fat chips" but she ended up with skinny fries which is a shame... neither of us are that bothered by fries...
A lot of people come here on a Sunday just for a drink and share a dessert - it's that sort of a place, good food, good range of drinks, and you can find a spot and chill out...

| The taps are a mix of European lager, the usuals, one or two ciders and 2 rotating taps |
 |
| Thats my 'Doppel Bock' in the bottom left corner with a picture of the other beers on tap... |
 |
| Only 2 rotating taps, I think they can do better here, or at least make them small batch local craft beer... |
I tried the Montieth's Bock, its a winter ale, German style beer, I could take it or leave it to be honest. Nice to try... Afterwards I had a few Steigls; now that is a great German lager. The best thing about this place is that it serves a couple of European lagers and also a much wider European wine list than most pubs which is awesome, but I do wish the rotating taps were small batch local craft beers and ales; I kinda think that's the point of rotating taps...

| Décor is cool and you can see the back bar is really ideal for groups to come and eat with the big tables |
 |
| We sat by the fire, its been cold recently and a fire (even if it is gas) is awesome to sit by... |
I was reading the times out "great winter pubs" and to be honest, I would say this place probably should of made the list... it is ideal for a cold Sunday session...
