National CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2011 so I was really stoked to be doing this one and I wasn’t disappointed, a nice relaxed oasis inside with plenty of chat and the locals are a friendly bunch. Located down a dip just off the main road, a couple of minutes stroll from the train station. It has a lovely old interior over a couple of rooms via an entrance lobby. The left side is essentially a snug, whilst the right is the main bar with quarry tile flooring, wonky wood beams, red fabric banquettes, traditional wood furniture, log fire and some nice bits of breweriana. To the rear is another room which was unoccupied but I assume is mainly used for functions. Six ales on during my visit from Heavy Industry, Rudgate (Brass Monkeys), Flying Monk (Mighty Monk), Sunlander (excellent shape – NBSS 4), and the sublime Batham's Bitter (NBSS 4.5). A notable change is that the homebrew is no more, but with stuff like Bathams being available, I can’t say I was disappointed! A timeless drinkers pub and a real treat. I didn’t want to leave, put it at the top of your to-do list. Now.
