We arrived early on a Tuesday evening just before this atmospheric restaurant and pub filled up. The staff were pleasant and patient with everyone. The one drawback was the food. I ordered a stew with Guinness, beef, carrots, potatoes and more. Very good. But the soggy, tough pastry shell led me to believe my dish had been prepared the day before and when nobody ordered it, refrigerated overnight. Too bad. A professional cook would have thrown it out rather than lose a customer.

Found this as a recommended place when I was looking for a place to wind up on Sunday drive. The building is over a century old, having been a tannery, a flour mill, a hatchery, and a early power plant during it’s life. Now it has become a pub and restaurant. The atmosphere is very old school as you would expect, with belt driven fans turning overhead. The crowd is local, but visitors feel welcome. The food seems excellent, the two dishes I had were tasty indeed! I had the smoked trout cakes as a starter and a curried chicken enchilada as a main with a small Caeser salad. There is also a nice beer selection available, but I didn’t sample any on this visit.
