Trendy modern bar, traditional pub or somewhere in between? Traditional.
In one sentence why should people visit/steer clear of this pub? Excellent atmosphere, family-owned by lovely people respectful of and respected by their punters. Beer kept well. If I liked Thai food enough then I couldn't fault it.
