This place goes hand in hand with the adjacent Travelodge and is everything one would expect from a Toby pub. It was very busy when I popped in on Saturday evening, but I was served a decent pint of Guinness very promptly by a cheerful barmaid. The usual draught suspects are also available alongside Greene King IPA and Harveys Best. Strictly Come Dancing was muted on the lone plasma screen as some background music played and to be honest I’m surprised the manager didn’t just put the sound on as there were a fair few people gawping at the screen. There is a large car park and this place is not the most accessible by foot so most people drive, which is no problem as the food is the major draw. This is a handy pub for families that wish to take their kids to the pub for dinner as a treat, but I’d rather eat at home.
