The House Restaurant

The Top House is a great pub.

Donal and his young team behind the bar are very friendly and professional. They pro-actively seek out customers looking to be served, unlike some other local barstaff who try to avoid eye contact at all costs.

It's clear that Donal puts in considerable effort in training, developing and coaching his team who aspire to develop the skills that you would see in the busiest and best pubs around the world (especially in the US).

They are also very good at judging whether to have the sport on in the background or, if it's a big match, play the commentary and make it an occasion!

The food is really excellent - especially the fish and chips. I'm also a regular for their breakfast - which is great - served quickly and fresh.

The pub also has a separate area for events which can comfortably cater for at least 60 people. We held a family birthday there recently - which went really well. They coped with a large food order without a problem, and all the alcohol prices are maintained at pub level rather than the premium you would pay in any restaurant.

I would thoroughly recommend the Top House for a quiet drink with friends and family, or to celebrate a big occasion.

Very dissapointing visit.
Place looks very nice. Indoor and outdoor area, lovely bar.
Staff seemed to be bit unexperienced. Service was bit slow but it wasn't that busy.
Ordered chicken sandwich and chicken with creamy sauce. Chips and slaw were the best part of the meal. Creamy sauce was very runny and both our chicken meats were undercooked and tough, we couldn't eat it. After our complain, the manager came, very professional and apologetic, we didn't have to pay. We left to eat somewhere else.

Nice pub, good attentive staff, bit quiet.

Menu is quite boring, but good quality is fine.

A little busier and a little more atmosphere could make it a nice place

Plus is that you can talked to each other without having to shout.
