The Shield And Dagger

We had a fun evening playing a good , well organized quiz. Drinks served to the table . Sanitizer available and distancing in place. We havent used this local much before but now we have been a few times and are staying nearer home we will be going more often as its welcoming . Food also looks good so we will try that soon . A good evening and in our group of four age ranged from 26 to 81 so a good family thing to do .

Lounge could do with a refurbishment.sizzling steaks very good value no complaints about bar or food prices

We Don’t go to this pub that often although it is near to where we live. Pop in sometimes for a quick drink and have had a few meals in there too. It always has his usual quota of locals and regulars which then is always quite noisy with some quite rude, unnecessary bad language . That aside, the meals, plus the beer for that matter is very hit and miss. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it’s awful, we think it depends on who’s cooking it. Went in last Friday and had two lovely meals, a sirloin steak and a mixed grill, served on a sizzling plate both meals were proper sizzling and very tasty. Wine and carling lager were both good too. We Went in again Saturday late afternoon, just for a drink, wine good but the carling was awful, it was as flat as a pancake !!,! Whilst we were there we saw 3 people take their carling back and complain. I took my husbands pint of carling back he couldn’t be fussed because he says if they can’t get it right first time there’s no point. He thinks it’s who pours the pint and how they pour it determines how good it is. So, as we were the fourth complaining about the carling rather than risk another rubbish pint I asked if they would please swap it for a pint of carlsberg. “ What, why ? “ came the answer, rather rudely, Because the carling is flat I told her. No apology, nothing, she left the carling on the bar, went to pour a carlsberg, whilst chatting to a regular, totally ignored me and when she had finished talking and only then did she return to me, dump the new pint of lager on the bar in front of me, no apology nothing and just walked away . How rude, what happened to the customer always being right ? Like I said in the beginning it’s either all good or rubbish, that night it was rubbish, makes you not want to go in again.

Recommended this venue due to live Music we weren't disappointed! Although it was absolutely packed service was still spot on, staff very switched on to who was next in line to be served. Great atmosphere, great service, great entertainment. Although we didn't order food our friends did and they thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Will definitely return.

Great food menu at reasonable prices, lovely friendly atmosphere, I would definately recommend food to others, great value.
