We arrived at the pub to sit on the patio and generously gave up our table to people with more in their party . when another table opened up that was in the sun we were told that we were not allowed to move because that was “table hopping “ and the manager sandy would not allow it . We were forced to sit in the shade for absolutely no reason while the table in the sun remained open the entire time . We have been coming here for years and we were not only scolded but we felt so unwelcome that I’m not sure that we will ever come back . Super bummed about our experience . We were not even able to eat our food because we were so cold and not allowed to move tables!

Well it is nice and has some good friendly people that go there but it has a negative element that wants to keep people away.Typical "I don't want competition at my bar" attitude.

I had the mushroom Swiss burger, and it was pretty good! It was a very wholesome meal, it tasted like something my mom would make and I loved that.Our server was SUPER awesome. She said she felt bad for not "paying enough attention" to us, but it was nonsense! She was absolutely lovely and we had a wonderful time.
