Nice back street community pub, deceptively large inside. The drinking area is now all one space but clearly once was three perhaps four rooms; having said that the columns and piers still give a feel of separate areas. Recently revamped but in a fairly traditional style and not "gastro'd" like some Youngs places. Pool table and a dartboard still, I like it but it would be better if the beer wasn't just Youngs/Wells. No guest/Deuchars spotted.

They had Young’s Bitter, Special, Bombardier and Deuchars IPA on. This pub is larger than it looks from the outside, and it has clearly been extended to the right at some stage. The area at the back now contains a pool table, and some comfortable furnishings. It’s quite nice inside, with some interesting carved wooden adornments to the shelving, plus some screening between the two original bars is still in place. I didn’t eat, but the menu looked pretty basic, and reasonably priced. It’s an OK pub – not really worth going out of your way to visit, but OK to stop off for a pint.
