Four handpumps with three ales on – Firkin Fox, K&B Sussex and Badger Tanglefoot. My Tanglefoot was below average, a bit lifeless really. As seems the way these days, the ale in this (seemingly) Hall & Woodhouse pub was overpriced compared to a number of nearby outlets. The interior is set over three rooms, with one set for dining. The front bar is a bit tatty, chipped paint and the floorboards looked to have seen cleaner days. High shelving here held books and a large model boat. There was a dartboard which was unfortunately located behind a sofa. There was a nicer-looking back room though, which flagstone flooring. Service at the bar was perfunctory and some the locals sat at the pleasant bay window were not overly happy to see us ‘outsiders’. I was disappointed by this one.
