I heard one of the locals booking a table for the next day whilst we were at the bar. Obviously this pub must serve food only in the evenings as there were no tables laid on our Tuesday afternoon visit. The interior had low ceilings and seating was a mix of brown button backed bench seating along the left hand side from the entrance. Exposed bare brick was also another feature along with some original ceiling beams. Four handpumps with only two in use on our visit, Titanic Anchor and TT Landlord. The food photos and menu online looked very inviting.

Looks mainly a restaurant but the rear has darts, and a big screen. Four pulls with Wye Valley, Hobsons, Castle Rock and Rev James in average condition. A busy Friday night and just the one barman behind the bar, the bloke in front of me got pissed off waiting and left but I got served pretty quickly after that, then a floozie appeared behind the bar and the bar chap left, still it wasn't too busy so maybe the locals avoid the place.

Now has 4 handpumps with Rev James, Salopian Shropshire Gold, Castle Rock Harvest Pale and Hobson's Town Crier on on this visit.

I too found this to be a friendly pub. It has a cosy feel about it and once sat on the sofas at the rear it was hard to leave. And not just due the usual lowness if the sofa.
