Quinno _ left this review about The Griffin
Tucked away in the backstreets so unlikely to be found by the average crawler (we only knew it was there because we could see it from our B&B window). This is a late-opening place staffed by a pair of characters we nicknamed Little & Large. It is actually the bar of the Yardley Manor Hotel. One ale - Bays Summer - which was pretty grim though they also had Topsail in bottles which was much better. Pool and TV and decent internal décor. Good laughs to be had if you pop in for a nightcap.
