Has just reopened after a short closure and there is a to let sign up still. Four real ales on tap and in good condition. Pleasant enough surroundings but you could see the marks on the walls where all the TVs, etc have been removed.Customers were very sparse on a Saturday afternoon.Worth visiting in the hope it will siurvive.

This is an Enville Ales corner pub with a small front patio and a rear patio too. It is in cream render with green paintwork and has a single bay window next to the side entrance on the lower level and three large sash windows on the upper. The interior has one U-shaped room, as all the older rooms in this pub have been knocked through to form it. The walls are in green, red, cream and white, some of which is painted brick. There is a white ceiling and a carpet floor. There is a wood surround fireplace and some green wall units. There is a dart board and large screen TV showing Sky Sports. The music was a little on the loud side and the clientele was more younger based at my visit - maybe why the scattering of sofas were ripped. There were no real pictures and the service was somewhat functional. Beer: saying that about the interior, the beer was decent and there was a fantastic choice. Enville Ginger, Ale and Porter were accompanied by Pardoe's Bumblehole and Sarah Hughes MILD and Surprise. The interior is the opposite to the exterior - and not really my kind of place. The beer makes it all worth while - definitely worth popping in.

Seemingly popular Envile Ales house on busy road. Comfortable and modernised but still tradional hoouse, opened up, there is louder than average piped music as well as plasma screens showing sport. Excellent real ale, supporting other local breweries.

Now an Enville tied house and well worth a visit if you like Enville beers. Pub is virtually next door to the New Inn, a Bathams pub
