Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Shoulder of Mutton
Corner pub with simple brewers' Tudor upper facades. Inside, the vestibule forms part of an angled 'L'-shaped bar, with a pool table at the other end. There is also an opening through to a quieter snug. Limited décor and a mix of furniture, but the banquette seating has been given a partial refurbishment at some stage which leaves a rather curious effect. All handpumps removed since my last visit in 2017, but thankfully the Banks's Original on one of the keg taps was just £2.75 as well as the Worthington's. Not a place to linger...

Pretty grim town centre pub with a clientele to match. No real ale, only Worthington and Banks's Original on keg. I went for the latter at £2.80. Gets lively in the evening with Karaoke, Play your Cards Right etc.. Not for me!

Lively bar with a pool table and TV screens showing sport. Small quieter area at rear . Good selection of real ales, including Bathams Bitter, at very reasonable prices.

A corner pub in white render and wood beam look, with etched windows.
The interior is roughly a U-shape around the serving bar. The decor is white and pale light green, with a couple of walls with a brown and silver wallpaper on, with a wood floor and purple seats. There was a nice tiled fireplace in the end area. Lots of TVs on, showing the footy, indeed one was been drilled in as we visited. There was no music. The service was fine and the place pretty busy with a mixed clientele. A few old pictures were dotted about, and there was a nice old grate and a barrel, which, along with the Holt's Brewery door windows supplied a bit of interest.
Beer; no real ale, Banks's MILD and bitter on keg. The bitter was ok.
Now really a sports bar with basic keg beer and several TV screens - more the kind of place you think of as being a 'younger' clientele base, but in fact it was very mixed. Real ale fans will pass it by.
