Strongers . left this review about Cromwell's Tap House

Cromwell's Tap House is a tile floored bar with a counter up the left-hand wall and a central support with a television that faces high tables to the front and another television that faces standard tables and chairs to the rear. Both were off while some background music played during a recent midweek afternoon visit when I was the only customer. Exposed wooden beams run across the white painted ceiling and an ever-expanding collection of old clips, both keg and cask, are found on the walls and around the bar. Mainly craft keg was available alongside three hand pumps that were drawing Stonehouse Brewery’s Flipside as well as Marble Brewery’s Pint and a very nice drop of Noble Jester. I found the service to be very polite, so if I lived locally, I’d use this place every now and again.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Cromwell's Tap House

Perhaps more of a restaurant / wine bar than a traditional pub, but it does have three handpumps as well as ten keg beers and ciders. The minimalist semi-modern furniture is supplemented by a collection of pump clips and other breweriana. From the cask beer choice of Salopian Town, Goff's Lancer and Green One from Magic Dragon, I went for the latter (£3.95, and in great shape).

You are in wine bar territory here. Its ok and it does do real ale but its more for the trendy diners.
