Alas they had run out of flakes for my wife's pint of lager 🤣
Welcoming pub with a good variety of beers on tap. Also welcoming to dogs too. More of a locals pub, also has a darts team, but equally welcoming to non locals too, so recommended if you are staying a Trecco Bay.
The prices were reasonable and the service excellent 👏.
We sat down, I moved all the things onto the other table and waited for one of the women to come over. One of them did come walking towards us but turned the television on and put the volume up to a very high level. My husband wears hearing aids so the loud music was even worse for him. He suggested we move to another table, but I said let's just wait to see how long it takes to be served. We waited for someone to take our drinks order. We waited for quite a while, no one came over. Then the alarm went off. That was the last straw, we started to get up. One of the women said that it was alright it was just that the alarm hadn't been turned off from last night. We just put on our coats, got our dog from under the table and left. We were hoping for the fire to be lit, like our last visit, it was colder and two months later, so a warm, welcoming fire would have been lovely.
It was terrible service, I don't even know if they noticed we had left. I would have thought in the present climate customers would be welcomed with opened arms not ignored.
Nice choice of ales and ciders.
Reasonably priced too. Table service and friendly staff make this a lovely watering hole. Probably have food this weekend looking at the menu.
