Visited at a quiet time (mid-afternoon) but I found the place to have a pleasant-enough atmosphere. The barman was a bit distracted by some problem in the cellar which meant that the fizzy liquids were off (so no real loss there for the discerning drinker). Decent pint of the rich, dark Hidden Depths stout. Extra point for the extraordinary location (and images don't always give you any idea of what's around it), and just still managing to be there despite all that has changed in the area... (NB - Review dates from October 2009.)

There's clearly some history to this attractive looking pub, much of which surrounds the owners, Hidden Brewery. I understand they have now taken to closing the pub in the afternoons so it's probably best to phone before making a special trip. Inside it seems a bit disorganised but that gives it a lived in feel and I imagine it's a decent place to spend a couple of hours on a quiet afternoon. Beer was mainly from the Hidden brewery and there were a number of bottled beers available.

What a great pub! This pub has everything, friendly staff, cask marquee, great music you can chose from for free, local people, reasonably priced beer with discounts for camera members.
There are 7 pumps featuring a nice mix of stouts, porters, and regular beers, all in tip-top condition. the pub is tucked away therefore there is no foot traffic which gives it a very private and exclusive atmosphere, an absolute must for ale lovers.
