Bar and restaurant just along from the town centre. 2 real ale taps (1 on).

A fairly large L-shaped space with the bar towards the front opposite the entrance. The exterior is painted in what clearly must be a mulberry colour, this plus the signage interspersed with green leaves gives the appearance of an Irish pub however this is certainly not the case. Inside the floor is boarded and most of the seating is in front of the bar, a section to one side is slightly raised. The section to the side has a wall of exposed brick which looks to have been stained with something, this leads on to a rather bleak looking area to the rear containing a forlorn looking pool table. There is a bit of garden beyond. There isn't much in the way of decoration, a few prints of this and that and a few stencilled leaves. There are fireplaces each end and a shelf had a fair few games stacked up. A fairly basic and unremarkable place really except the beer range is decent. There are eight pumps, five were on, Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Box Steam Sin Bin, Dark Star APA (£3.60), Marble Chocolate Marble plus a perry, Pine Tree Farm Pear O Duddas. A friendly welcome from an enthusiastic barman and a handful of punters all on the real ale. I understand the pub to be owned by the people who have the Magpie and Crown in Brentford. Food served, there were small chalkboard menus on the tables. Worth a look in for a decent pint of something different.
