Basement bar in a seafront block which sadly is past its best. The landlady filled us in on the sad demise of its ale offerings, from once selling six including a mild down to just the one regular in the shape of Hobgoblin Gold, explaining that most of its clientele drink lager. Even the Gold was past its best, so I don't hold out much hope for its survival. A great shame.

Visited November 2017. Four pumps at the bar, two of which were on, offering Hobgoblin Gold and Jennings Cumberland. The Hobgoblin Gold was £1.70 for a half.
Quite a traditional feel to the pub inside if slightly worn and dated but perhaps part of the charm if you like pubs to be pubs. Big TVs everywhere. The young chap behind the bar asked if I wanted anything else on the TV, which I thought was very kind of him.
Not a place I would particularly feel the need to rush back to, but I'm glad to have tried it.
