A respectable corner back street pub, with two large rooms. The bar and lounge found on the right hand side of the entrance and good sized darts room on the back left. The entrance also has a fine example of Victorian floor tiling. Nine handpumps on the bar, with eight in operation on our visit. Three of these were from Castle Rock, which seemed popular with the locals. We went for the Millstone True Grit, which was in good condition and reasonably priced. The landlady was very jolly and welcoming, there was some music playing at a low level, Pink Floyd comes to mind. This pub had a good relaxed atmosphere and also has a rear patio garden.

This is my local. 9 real ales, 4 of which remain constant. The other 5 guests come from breweries far and wide. A proper traditional boozer with a good range of ales. No food is sold except for bar snacks and not really a place for children, I did ask if I could take my youngest daughter and they were fine with it. Well worth a visit if you like good beer.

A decent, friendly real ale pub, very competetive beer prices and landlord and landlady are proud of the standard of drink they serve, give this pub a go and see what you think.
