A single storey pub on gallery level. The interior is open plan around a quite large central bar. It is traditional, with beams and white atrex, bamboo and grey walls, with wood panel, etched wood, part wood floor, old Chester and other pictures all over the place and leather seating. There was an ante-room in green and some nice tiling in the corridor and toilets, as well as around the fireplace. Mixed music at an ok level, with small clientele. The service was fine apart from the embarrassment shown by the barman due to the overpriced drinks - £3.15 for a pint of Courage Best. Beer; tap stuff, with no MILD and Courage Best (Ok), Theakston's Bitter and GK IPA on handpull. Nice pub spoilt by expensive, yet bog standard drinks - so caveat emptor

Very Olde Worlde pub on one of the upper galleries.Fairly small and compact and can get very busy.Unfortunately only Old Speckled Hen (Or so Greene King want to call it) on my visit but there were 2 other handpumps

Smack bang in the middle of this old city, serves good ale and food and known as a very trendy bar to the locals, very popular with pubcrawlers, tourists, and shoppers who are attracted to the olde world style of the bar.
