| - The building is beautiful inside and out. Parking can be tough but there is a garage next to it. We went for lunch on a Saturday and it was very buisy, people never stopped coming through the door. Good that they have a patio, second bar area and a bar down stairs with more seating. This place was big and old, one door still had the name of a previous hotel in old fancy letters. Old wood all over the place and it's a throw back to another time. Service was good for the crushing amount of people in the place. I had the scotch ale which was good but I was informed it's not there best choice for beer. I had the bacon cheese burger rare with the garlic mash instead of Fry's. The burger was good, see the picture. The burger was cooked perfect and had cheddar cheese, lettuce, bacon, tomatoe, red onion, pickles on a good roll. No ketchup etc and I ate it just how they served and it was a good burger. This mash potatoes were very good with some red skins left in and that wonderful garlic flavor, much better than Fry's in my opinion. The food took a little long but not that long for the massive amount of people in the placs which was ok because we had our drinks to work on. This is a nice place to get together for food and drinks and I would go back again. Bottom line it's a great place with lots of character and I can see why they have a crushing following, I would not want to work that kitchen for sure. Good job.
