"The atmosphere here is vibrant and lively, enhanced by the televised game between Everton and Manchester City. It's a dog-friendly place with a complete pub menu offered at reasonable prices, making it suitable for families too. The food was enjoyable, and as an independent pub, they provided a great selection of beer, cider, and spirits, along with non-alcoholic options. This experience demonstrates that when pubs focus on what they do best, we don't need to rely on chains like Wetherspoons."
