Virtually the closest pub to the station, with 30 minutes to spare before getting my train, this was the final stop of my 12-pub crawl. Despite the location and attractive façade, this is as mentioned a rather basic place.
At only seven o'clock, the pub's customers seemed to be very well lubricated and I didn't get the impression that the atmosphere would improve as alcohol continued to flow.
The barmaid was friendly enough and served me with a decent half of Ringwood's Razorback at just £1.40, the cheapest drink of the day and necked at speed.
The pub gets an optimistic 3 for serving real ale, but I would not be tempted back - I think it's best left to the Shropshire Lads and Ladettes.

Biggish pub vaguely U shaped with a pool table at the back on one side. Fair amount of Victoriana in the fittings, mostly doubtful. Four pulls of Marstons stable beers, my first was so obviously a barrel end it was changed without a murmur, the replacement being fine; usual keg tosh around the central square servery. Live music when I arrived late Friday.

It was lively but with a friendly atmosphere when we called in here after the match at Water Meadows Stadium on Saturday, when quite a few people were watching the rugby on the TV, though luckily not as many as in the Castle Vaults next door (more screens = more people watching). We found a place to stand and got involved in a conversation about the relative merits of rugby union and the proper version of the game, rugby league. One commented that league is a game for 13 three-quarters; I acknowledged that union may well be played by specialists in each position, and it's good to see that each team has room for several people who are not even athletes. This seemed to go down well. There were three hand pumps on the bar, with Hobgoblin, Bombardier and a very good Marstons Amber, which was just £2.50 a pint. I would be happy to call in again.
