As a local I've been very critical of the pub since COVID. All the locals I talk too agree. Inexperienced and sometimes rude staff, messed up meal orders and poor quality food.
Decided to bite the bullet and take in one of the front bar meals last night. for a simply delicious beef schnitzel, beautifully cooked, great chips and fresh salad, crumbs might have been slightly over cooked, but otherwise very palatable. The young lady who delivered the food and tidied up the table was delightful.
Things have turned around - so far. I'll be back.
