Old style Robinsons pub with lots of wood and interesting alcoves around the multi roomed layout. There was a real mix of people in early on a Friday evening with some high vis jackets mixed with a bunch of office girls having a post work bottle of wine. The main issue for me was that its a keg only pub which is unusual for a Robbies pub. As there was no real stuff I only had a half of Oldham Bitter which is a defunct brew now resurrected by Robbies. It was very cold and tasted of nothing in particular. Nice pub, shame about the beer.
