The staff were amazing the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great
It’s not a small portion pub it’s proper honest excellent food and atmosphere
The venue would not be everyone’s choice being an old 13th century pub but give it a chance because it’s fantastic
I’ve been to Jersey numerous times but only just found this venue and I’m so glad that I did
Thank you for a fantastic night and would recommend this place to anyone and everyone visit to see what I maen
Highly recommended
Being that I’m a lady who prefers fruit based drinks, the selection of dry rose wine (gentlemen refrain from raising your eyebrows) was surprisingly good, add 2 of those to that pack of salt and vinegar crisps meant the walk back to St Aubin was most jolly! Oh and according to the bloke the local IPA was extremely very satisfying, if you’re interested, which obviously I am not.
The beach is stunning and worth a pre/post bevvy walk. We didn’t eat but menu looked wholesome, local and very good.
Nice food & good service. Their real ale choice was average, but the other drinks were good .
Standout meals would he the duck and sea bass as well as the sticky toffee pudding!!
Thanks for a great meal.
