Mauldons Mole Trap, Hanby Rainbow Chaser, Salopian Matrix, Grainstore TenFifty, Adnams Best. Old wood floor, nice studded leather settles, wood tables with cast iron base, wooden stools. Dartboard to rt of bar, opposite wall decorated with old pub & cooperage photos, old pumpclips suggest good rotation policy. Small patio to the rear with 2/3 picnic sets, car park beyond. Two bay windows with upholstered banquettes at the front. Large plasma to left of bar (dk whether they still have sky – was switched off so didn't catch the cricket score). Sarnies £3/4, burgers £4/5, jumbo mixed grill (incl rump steak & lamb chop!) £8.95. Friendly & polite welcome & service, beers in good condition.Very good traditional pub & great start to the day's crawl.
