A brick built Victorian building now run under the Craft Union banner, it’s a single long room running the width of the pub with the counter against the back wall. Traditional pub style with banquette seating round the periphery at wooden tables, a few mid height tables with matching chairs are found through the middle clutching iron columns or brick pillars. Two hand pumps with a choice of Theakstons Best or Lightfoot, decidedly average but in a Theakstons glass, a couple of T-bars and solos give an ordinary keg range. There are quite a few screens dotted about and and a collection of machines and a pool table at one end. Flag and carpet flooring, tongue & groove and panelled walls in brown and grey respectively, an interesting bit of decor is a first series OS map on a pillar but covering too small an area to be exciting. My fellow almost exclusively male, older punters were as expected for a value brand pub on a Friday lunchtime.
