Previously Hampshire Boulevard, this Victorian corner pub is now a gay and fetish-friendly bar which serves chilled megakeg but no real ale. There are bouncers on the door. The lighting is camp and garish, mainly purple and pink, while the three bar areas offer a mixture of tables, bar stools and dance floor. The muzak was predictably loud and unpleasant. The clientele was a mixed bunch, and included at least one outrageous transvestite. It's a bit of fun, but the lack of real ale means I probably won't come back here for an outing.

When we visited this pub it was called the Tut and Shive,this was a stupid name that Whitbread had come up with for a decent looking corner pub. Once inside there was one room that had bare boards and was in the usuall style of these sort of pubs,there were three real ales on the bar we had a drink of Wadworth 6X and this was a decent drink the other beers were London Pride and Boddingtons bitter. This was a decent enough pub though it was very quiet on our early evening visit. Pub visited 17/2/1999 Photo taken 20/2/1999
