A nice looking pub on approach but once inside it seemed rather featureless and bland. Three handpumps on the U shapped bar but just the one cask beer available which was Laines Dubloon, I had a half with the barman spending the whole transaction with his mobile phone glued to his ear in conversation, thankfully I only brought a half as the beer was approaching vinegar, with nothing to replace the beer I left it and moved on with the barman still in deep conversation on his phone. Not impressed.

Quite a fetching little pub at the top end of Clarence Gardens, appealing enough to divert from my planned itinerary to investigate. 'U'-shaped bar in a square room with alehouse-style furniture and decor, but on a bright Spring day most of the punters were sat out on the compact front terrace. Four handpumps on the counter, offering the 'house' Pleasure Pale Ale, Gun Project Babylon Pale Ale, Franklin's Mama Knows Best (£4.00) and a SeaCider cider.
