Externally this looks like it should be in Brum, it being a handsome and imposing red brick building. Inevitably it has been whacked-around inside to produce a wonky F shaped interior. A bit of character remains, albeit subsumed under a modern paintjob disaster. GBG listed with four Brains cask, my SA wasn't going to pull up many trees but was par (NBSS 3).

A good looking building and now quite smart inside after what looks to have been a recent refurbishment. A large portrait of the Duke himself competes for attention with a range of well-kept Brains beers on the bar. I think this place hits the spot for a city centre pub, with just enough of tradition and modernity to appeal to a range of customers. Date of visit: 27th October 2019
