A nice old locals' pub which has had a bit of modernisation and new furniture but still feels like a proper pub. There is an island bar, and a terraced outdoor area to the rear. Just Goachers on handpump.

Much as described below, it’s encouraging to see this historic pub survive as the buildings around it have changed over the years; it’s the last building in what was once a terrace. The garden looks good, though it is probably a bit loud due to the main road traffic. The landlord, pub dog and the locals were on good form, and we felt very welcome here. Only one ale on, Ghost Ship, which was in good condition. Worth including in a local crawl or just stopping in for a quick beer.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Hare & Hounds
This pub has had a troubled history in recent years, with several periods of closure, so it's good to see it still open (and at least it hasn't been blown up again since the IRA had a go in 1975...). The interior - which was opened out as some stage to form an island bar (but which is not immediately obvious as such) - was smartened up a few years ago. Pool table. Split-level beer garden, part patio, part grass. I found two of the four handpumps on this visit, offering Doom Bar and Adnams Ghost Ship (£4.00).
