A deceptively large detached Everards pub, with rear beer garden. The pub is in Georgian style, with cream painted brick and white windows, however, the lintels are painted over too, giving a little bland appearance to me. The interior is, well, busy in that it has several area, on split levels, that are aimed at different clientele. I simply found it, in general, pretentious. The decor is the red and white, with some white wood panel and the odd walls with patterned wallpaper (silver for example). Wood flooring mixes with carpet, with some nice mosaic at the door. There is the all too familiar sofa/comfy chair area, with fireplace and lamp - sort of like a front room isn't it?. The dining area is at the lower level and there is a games area too. There are a few photos on the walls. Service was fine and it is has ranged from busy to completely quiet on the few visits i have made. I didn't see a TV and music was general and at a decent level. Beer; usual tap stuff, with at the last visit, Origianl, Beacon, Equinox, Tiger, and Whakatu. The Beacon was a bit cloudy and the Whatatu too cold. i think the disappointing beer is partly why i found this place a little generic. I will try it again, at some stage.

An unusually located pub, being in the middle of an eight(?) road junction. Named after a local admiral (JDW-esque). The split-level interior has had a makeover but has a number of appealing older features such as the attractive etched glass bar back set in white painted wood and the mosaic tiled floor. Open-plan but has a number of discrete drinking areas which makes for a more homely feel. Seven ales on the bar, mainly from Everards with a couple of guests, plus Old Rosie cider and mine was in good nick. There’s a selection of board games in the back room and up-market pub food offered. Large prints of old Beano comics adorn one of the walls. Enjoyable and worth a visit.
