If your thinking of having a ride down for one on a sunday, always good to book just in case!

SIMON:

'well met xp tonight(mark), nice chap, very keen to get on 2 wheels and join us all.

the pub is big, if a little quiet but food is nice!'

KIM:

XP was very nice - good luck with the theory test Mark!

As Simon said, the pub was big - would be ideal for pub quiz - as lots of separate tables. So perhaps we are due a quiz night sometime soon? And we probably wouldn't have to worry about disturbing other customers. No screaming babies which is very good news for me!

Plenty of parking. Nice garden area - I think it had a climbing frame, so Bambam will be catered for...

Food was okay - menu was fairly limited and no snacks/light meals - ie cheesy chips, roasties, etc, but perhaps they might be open to requests for this if there was a group of us..?

All in all, we had a nice evening there.

It maybe bike friendly but I dont think any pub is Kim friendly, just ask poor old Exeter Arms :)
