According to What Pub this is a Fitzgerald pub but on my arrival there was a Sale Agreed sign on the outside so whether I visited it in the last days as a Fitzgerald outlet or the first days under new ownership was unclear. I entered into a public bar that was doing a fair trade on a late Wednesday afternoon. There is a more cosy lounge but it was unlit so presumably not yet open. Although the public bar is quite basic it seems to have been modernised with a false ceiling and air conditioning. There are five hand pumps which had two unused, Old Rosie cider, Alchemy Blonde Star and Black Sheep Best. I found this choice disappointing so had an Aspall's cider (£3.65). I was disappointed by this one and it may well change or close down.
