TL;DR: relaxed environment, casual pub/restaurant that the owner cares about leading to a good experience.

A cute and cozy place. This is clearly the love of the owner, and he tries hard to ensure you're happy. He was our waiter during the visit.
We dropped by based on good reviews here in Google Maps and we're not disappointed. The food was good, and the atmosphere was relaxed and positive. If you want fancy eating with candles and dim lights, this isn't your place, but if you like good food at decent prices in a relaxed and brighter environment... I recommend this place. (The room generally allows in a good amount light... Not an easy feat in such a cloudy country!)
While I didn't use them, there were leather (-like?) couches and chairs available to sit down and eat which I thought was a benefit to the relaxed environment this place is encouraging.

Had eaten here before and was my worst experience of eating out. However my son convinced me to give it a try as they had a new chef...WOW am I glad I did.. freshly cooked dishes that were well presented from Martin the chef and tasted awesome. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will certainly be returning soon. Well done guys what a turn around!!

I used to love this place but visited today and it was like a completely different place! The homemade they advertise is now non existent! I had my usual fish and chips and it was frozen fries and fish! When I asked why it had changed I was told sometimes they do fresh chips sometimes they do frozen fries! Not good enough! Such a shame used to be so nice!

As not from local area it was a bit difficult to find and ended up calling for directions which were perfect, the owner and chef was very welcoming and giving us the choice to eat in restaurant or in outdoor area which is small but comfortable. We were served by Louise who was well aware of items on menu and able to provide more in-depth information when asked, food was hot and well presented, a little on the large side, steak pie was perfect. Louise was able to offer details of available cocktails and ingredients. Prices were excellent and easy on the purse. During the week kitchen closes at 7.30, Groupon deal allowed us to book for 8pm, at no time from our arrival was it mentioned or were we made to feel we were stopping staff from getting home if anything the exact opposite, it was only when I asked Louise that she provided meal times. Lovely staff and facilities.

Been here many times, the food is excellent. Would say it's homely/pub grub style, just done well. Very cheap, with good sized portions. Would highly recommend the chicken gujons.

A charming local restaurant, serving a variety of pub grub favourites. Service was friendly, although not the fastest (we were the first ones in for lunch on Saturday). Appetizers are fantastic, but the main course was let down by the mountain of fries that came with it which tasted cheap and were mostly cold. Nevertheless, recommend a visit!

Absolute gorgeous food. Staff pleasant and polite. Hidden gem of place. Lunchtime menu great prices and food was not what I was expecting to come out in all honesty. Smashing. Will visit again when visiting. Were not local (Preston)
