Great value clean friendly pub
4 Star Review by Angelico Estil
Simple quiet pub, warm outdoor area for smokers, and they serve Resches.... . Would've got 5 stars if parking the car wasn't so tight but understandable when it's surrounded with a BP petrol station, a laundromat, and a Maccas.
5 Star Review by Krit Tech
Was hungry while stuck in traffic on M5. We are lucky enough to find this gem bistro in Reversby. Quick service, amazing flavour Asian food and good value. If you need a drink, bar just next to it. Strongly recommend and well be back. Caramelised pork belly is a must try!!
