Locals' Greene King pub to the northern edge of town. As you enter, there is a room off to the left, which was unoccupied on my Tuesday evening visit. Customers were all on the right-hand side of the pub, where there was an area adjacent to the bar with TVs showing World Cup football and a number of high tables. Beyond this was a games room with a pool table.

Real ales are normally served, but all had run out. The barman promised that they would have a delivery the following day. This wasn't much use for me. Keg options were San Miguel, Coors, Stella, Peroni, Guinness, Strongbow, Fosters & Punk IPA.

A two bar pub, reasonable modernised but retaining a good pub feel, with an eating area to one side and a larger bar the other leading back to a games area with darts. A large grassed garden at the back includes numerous tables and a mini goal set up for the kids. Draught ales were Otter Amber and Abbot, with Landlord and TEA out of action, and condition was good. Mainly one for the locals but fair enough.

You enter to be faced with what could almost be a meet and greet booth but is actually a walk through link between rooms where the bar sits centrally. The side to the right goes back a fair way, a swirly sensory challenging carpet to the front bar area and beyond a calmer wooden floor. A bay window overlooks some pleasant outdoor seating with fields beyond, you may need to go and look at this vista every now and again to dismiss the interior view from your retina. There is a serviceable dartboard at this end. The decor continues to be bold with a patterned wallpaper and migraine inducing banquette covers.
To the other side there is a smaller room with a different stripy carpet, a fireplace and incongruously a number of Popeye cartoon "stills" framed. Black and white local scenes tone it down a little bit as do a few books on small shelves in the larger room. This is a GK "Meet and Eat" franchise, big menus on the tables therefore, no food smells and no one eating, in fact only a handful of customers around 2pm on a Thursday. TV sports advertised so probably busier of an evening. Just OSH and Abbot on handpump, the Abbot was as Abbot is, although only £3.30.
The previously mentioned white van man clientele were not in evidence, perhaps the refurbishment has resulted in this or maybe it just isn't safe to drive having been exposed to so many colours and patterns.
