Situated in the residential area of St John's, a bit of a walk from the city centre, this pub was extremely quiet on our Friday evening visit. In fact, we were the only customers. Even the two friendly barmaids seemed surprised. But at least they had stayed open and seemed happy to see some punters. The interior is roughly C-shaped, with an additional games room on the way to the toilets. This contained a pool table. I don't recall how many handpulls they had, but none were clipped. Although there was a sign stating they had Pedigree as a cask ale. That wasn't enough to tempt me. One slight downer for me was the presence of Liverpool Football Club paraphernalia in one area.

The regular beers are Banks's bitter and mild on electric so don't be put off as they're at either end of the low keg T-bar plus there are two changing beers from other Marstons breweries on pull and a cider and a spare. Tucked away but a nice back street local comprising a single room but obviously were once two rooms, plain but traditional furnishing inc the Britannia tables and bench seating a good pub needs. It's a good basic pub with a knowledgable friendly landlord.
