In the left of the pub is a public bar with seating and a dartboard, but this was empty during my visit on Wednesday evening. The much larger right hand bar had a handful of people in to watch the football that is aired on multiple televisions. At the rear of the bar is a pool table and a small stage area with speakers is found centrally in the rear wall. This is a Holts pub with a bank of three hand pumps in each bar, along with their usual keg. All handpumps were clipped with Holts Bitter. I found the service to be polite, but I’ll not be rushing back here.

I've passed by many Holt's pubs this year and have been put off by the banners outside advertising BT and Sky Sports. This one is no exception but on this occasion I had time to give it a go.
Inside there's a public bar to the left as you enter and a Saloon to the right. Both seemed basic traditional old fashioned rooms but with the exception of the TV screens which are neither traditional or old fashioned.
I went in the right bar as that had three hand pumps. The two screens at the end were showing very boring music videos (not Pink Floyd). Thankfully the stage was unused and there were no pool players.
The three hand pumps all had Holt's Bitter (£2.28) which was in excellent nick and a fine old school Northern bitter. I was also pleased to see the legendary Holt's prices still in evidence especially as I thought the barman had said £3.28.
I enjoyed my visit here but would avoid on a Saturday night or when a major sporting event was on.

Two roomed pub with Holts bitter being the only real ale on on this visit. 3 handpumps in the main lounge and 1 in the bar area, all with Holts Bitter clips on. Its a friendly pub for an afternoon drink. I liked it despite some bloke with his guitar setting up and proceeding to ruin some already classic crap songs and two songs in it was tedious Pink Floyd shite so time to move on.
