As chain pubs go, this one is a good one – although they don’t do real ale, they do offer an excellent range of real ciders and perries. You enter the single room bar area by climbing a flight of stairs from street level, and find yourself in an open, airy atrium. The young staff are helpful and welcoming, and it's quite a pleasant place to sit. We had a flight of 5 ciders which was great for variety, and it informed later choices. The ciders and perries were certainly in excellent condition, though some of the flavours weren’t to my taste – rhubarb cider, for example, which tasted very artificial to me but was, in any case, far too sweet. The food was also good, and the takeaway pizza we took away was prepared quickly, was delicious (much better than any of the takeaway pizza chains) and the chillies in it added greatly to post-pub amusement. It’s not particularly cheap, but it’s somewhere I’d be very happy to visit again, and it’s one of the better places in this part of town for many reasons.
