Best pub in the neighbourhood. A traditional pub serving food well beyond what you're likely to find anywhere else. The Kale salad is brilliant, the fish and chips are simple and delicious, and the crispy duck-leg sandwich is a personal favourite. Grab yourself a pint of Guinness to wash it down and you'll be a happy customer. Guaranteed!
