A great value meal to sit and watch Saturday sport on our big screen and 5 TVs. Stop Press, as with all other bars we have now lost our Carlsberg Draught; however, we now have an alternative, along with Heineken we now have Chang Draught, almost the same taste as Carlsberg, from the same brewery and at a far lower price.
