Lively pub, we had food in there on Friday, and it was outstanding, GF had lasagne and I had the steak, staff very friendly and helpful, pub had a great atmosphere about it, we had a few pints on the Saturday night and it was exceptionally lively and they had Iive music ,which created a even better atmosphere, Guinness was top notch too.
Thanks very much paul
I regularly visit the County for lunch and find the service, staff and food, simply exceptional. Try the steak sandwich, best I've ever had and would rival any top rated restaurant! Keep up the good work!
Great place to relax with friends. I love listening to their wonderful musicians.🥰❤️ Thanks to the staff for the service.😊
