What it’s like
A Greene King pub with free entry, big screens for the match, a beer garden, and a function room you can hire for birthdays.
Free to walk into, which matters when you're deciding at 4pm whether to go out. The screens carry TNT Sports and Sky Sports, so if there's a match on, that's the afternoon sorted, and the beer garden takes the overflow when the weather holds. It's a pub first, so think of it as somewhere to eat and watch rather than a soft play with a bar attached.
Food runs from noon, with the kitchen closing at 9pm Monday to Saturday and 8pm on Sunday. That Sunday roast is the one to aim for, and there's vegan and vegetarian choice alongside the pub classics. Last orders are late: 11pm Monday to Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday, 10.30pm Sunday. No prices are listed anywhere, so budget for standard pub money rather than a bargain.
For a birthday, the function room takes parties, family reunions and bigger celebrations. Seasonal events run through the year, from Christmas quizzes and karaoke to Halloween, Easter and Mother's Day. One odd rule worth knowing: under-18s can't have the 0% alcohol drinks, so don't promise a teenager a fake pint. Dogs are welcome with water bowls on request, but they stay on a lead inside and out, and no electric scooters inside.
