Most Disliked
Some guests have noted that the pub can get crowded, especially on peak nights like Fridays, which sometimes leads to a bit of a wait for a table or service. A few diners mentioned that while the atmosphere is generally cozy, it can be a bit noisy during busy times, making conversation a challenge. Visitors have also pointed out that parking can be tricky during peak hours as the free lot fills up quickly. A limited selection of vegetarian options has also drawn criticism, indicating room for improvement in catering to diverse diets. Additionally, while the pies are popular, a couple of customers expressed disappointment in the occasional inconsistency in the side dishes on Pie Night.
