Amazing small gig venue: they only have bands on that play original music and always quality, some big names too. Great beers, super-friendly staff and involved in loads of community activity. Best live PA sound I've heard at a small venue by a distance, just brilliant!

You've got to love the Snug. Whether it's for some lovely grub and a coffee fix (Flat White is amazing) or beer and a gig. Great atmosphere.

This is a lovely place, The staff are all friendly and will go out of their way to do anything for you. Food here is amazing, from the breakfasts to the home made cakes. It can sometimes be hard to find a place to sit but that just goes to show how good they are. Foods cooked to perfection and are vegan and vegetarian friendly. We call in after a walk and get a cold drink and a slice of cake. They have several different options like Carrot cake, lemon drizzle, victoria sponge and chocolate cake. They have other options every now and then but all are very good.

We went for lunch here they stop serving food at 2 so we were lucky enough to get there in time. Had fab poached egg cooked to perfection and pot of tea. I also had a loose leaf tea later that was lovely and a treat. Plenty cake on offer too that was tempting they also serve alcohol and a range of hot drinks. Plenty of veggie options really enjoyed the food and didn’t miss meat at all. Will be coming back for some of the event events they’ve got on. Great vibe and friendly staff.

Great very small independent gig venue. Interesting music/film/TV memorabilia stuff on the walls. Reasonably priced beer . Lots of outdoor seating which is handy as it can get quite hot inside.
