Clive Thompson left this review about The Black Boy
Paid a couple of visits and whilst it's not unfriendly it can get filled with boorish alpha males hogging the bar. I imagine they sell more lager than ale but they had Pride and Black Sheep plus Black Dog Rhatus as a guest. Sky Sports TV and a beer garden. A decent community pub that I'm sure serves it's purpose well.
