A good traditional pub hosting a prominent position as you walk into town from the train station. The most striking feature being the large leaded corner windows. The customers in here were mainly mature blokes enjoying a Friday afternoons drinking both inside and out, as there were a few picnic benches out in the front. Three handpumps with two in use, serving Landlord and Old Speckled Hen.

When I first visited many years ago it was called "The Case Is Altered" which always struck me as a good name. It was a good pub then and still is now. We enjoyed an excellent pint of Landlord. Well worth a visit.

I liked this friendly pub. The split level interior is fantastic to wander round as the collection of musical instruments rest all over and there is so much to see around the walls. There were 3 ales on at our visit, Brains Rev James, Sharps Atlantic and Roosters This is England which we chose and enjoyed.
