A very fine example of Brewers Tudor on a prominent road juction. The interior retains three sections and has an ale house vibe although there is a complete absence of real ale and just multinational crap keg products.A half of Fosters at £2.50 was drunk without pleasure. The front room is basic with servery to the right,midships there is a larger servery in a square section while there is a gentle slope to a large rear room with a pool table,table football,fruit machines,darts board , pinball and a small counter..The flatscreens seems focussed on rugby and for some reason rugby World Cup bunting was still all over the rear room ceiling obscuring some decent wood features.The exterior windows are all still 1930's but the boozer vibe is dominant ,folk come her to sup ,sometimes in volume.
Not on the list for a revisit,I might have reconsidered if there had been real ale.

Now re-opened under Heineken's Star Pubs initiative, this is now light and bright inside, with cream-coloured walls and inbetween beams painted mushroom colour. My visit was timed just right, as a dispute between two patrons was coming to an end with one party walking out, before turning back in the entrance and pointing, and a couple of choice locals, using choicer language with a TV screen showing racing to no-one in particular, means that perhaps not a lot has really changed here - strange, when you consider the success of the nearby Dodo Micropub. No real ale here - another pint of Guinness as I'd had as a fall-back in some of the non-ale pubs nearby. Some unobtrusive background muzak, and the barmaid, despite harassed (she'd had similar customer problems the night before I found out) was pleasant.

The exterior of this pub has now been painted emerald green. The interior walls are painted a combination of crimson and lemon yellow, with the ceilings painted salmon pink between the brown painted beams. It’s bare-boarded throughout, with furnishings a mixture of banquettes and normal tables and chairs. There are three inter-connected rooms, with the room labelled the Public Bar containing a pool table. I also spotted a dartboard. There was some pop music blaring out, and a muted TV showing a sports channel. They don’t serve real ale – the only bitter was John Smith’s. This pub reminded me of some Spanish bars that I frequented in my youth; quite uninspiring and characterless. But the dog and other punters in there seemed friendly enough though. I doubt whether I’ll pay a return visit.
