Brainy Pool left this review about The Telegraph

This estate/backstreet local was a real contrast to the Dog & Pheasant down the road - that one was tiny and almost claustrophobically busy, this one cavernous and echoing despite a similar number of customers. Nice comfortable seating and in many ways a better quality of pub than the Dog, but it just lacked a bit of atmosphere and it does feel like it has been opened out a bit too much over the years. A single real ale, Weetwood Cheshire Cat, in good condition.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Telegraph

A much-larger-than-it-initially-looks side-street pub, with various seating areas around the central bar counter. All parts plain and semi-traditional in appearance, but well maintained and managed. Plenty of sports TVs showing live football, but the dartboards and pool table were both fully occupied during my visit. Sharp's Atlantic had just gone off as seemingly the sole real ale from one of the three handpumps, but thankfully the Ludlow Gold clip was turned around by the barman who asked whether I would be happy with that instead as it was just going on, and for £3.00 this proved a much better alternative (and thus happiness all round...).

An absolute bugger to find and, sadly, not really worth the effort. Its a nice friendly enough pub but certainly not a destination pub. If you live by it, great, otherwise I wouldn't bother unless you're ticking off your pub visits. 3 handpumps on the bar with 2 dispensing Doom Bore and a guest. An open plan pub with a pool table as you enter and a largish lounge area to the rear. To find the pub you need to go over the wall, round the corner, turn left at the right hand turn, go under the overpass, across the left turn turning right at the left side of the cross. Or it seemed like that anyway.
