“The pub has a fine selection of whiskies and lagers even some ales which we were allowed to sample but unfortunately were not to our liking but we were still pleasantly surprised they were offered.

“We were served by a young lass called Stella who didn’t make us feel like we were a bother when we joked about with her a little and her customer service was on point she was all smiles and it felt really genuine as we watched her interact with everyone in such a personal and pleasant manner.

“The drinks were good and definitely made up for the fact that they don’t serve food I will definitely be back in the future it was overall a great start off to our evening out. Thank you east port and Stella for starting our night on a high note.”
