As a venue for music, we didn't much like it. We could hear competing noise (loud music - maybe amplified, but definitely loud customers singing) from downstairs during the performance - and we were in the part of the audience very near the performer, as far away from the downstairs door as possible. The performer was bothered by that competing noise, too, and had to ask the sound guy to raise his music's volume to drown it out. The layout of upstairs was fine if you could sit within about 5 or 6 rows of the stage, which is where we luckily were. However, more seats were arranged in rows or 3 or 4 chairs paralleling the bar and running all the way back to the entrance door - maybe 10 more rows. They were not tiered back there and there was no way people a few rows or further back would ever have seen the performer. Finally, the show was supposed to start at 8 pm but the audience had to wait in the pub until the door was supposed to open at 8. However, the opening performer must have been late, so it didn't get started until about 8:30. The opener's performance was cut very short (literally, two songs) so the main perfomer could start and end presumably on time. Unclear whose fault these things were, but overall we felt a little short-changed.

A nice pub for lunch & family friendly!! However don't go on a day that an event is being held!!

Had Sunday lunch there after a cabbage patch sponsored charity run and had people changing and drying their armpits whilst we tried to eat - Not Good!!!!

The Cabbage Patch is a brilliantly traditional place that made my old man very happy indeed. We sat and drank a few ales and had a very pleasant time indeed - made all the better by the nice staff. Don't be put off by the odd name as the Cabbage Patch is definitely worth a visit.
