Rob Hunter left this review about The Tap

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon in June. Three hand pulls at the bar, at the time of my visit offering two ales and one cider. My Mithril Park Life set me back £1.80 for a half; this wasn't a particularly exciting ale. Craft keg also available, along with various foreign (including Belgian) beers in the fridge. There are also shelves in the main seating area with cans and bottles available for purchase. Certainly something for everything on the beer front.

My attempt to pay in cash flummoxed the poor gent serving; he struggled for change so I ended up paying on card in the end, then he got confused about giving me my cash back. That will teach me to assume that places would prefer cash.

No music was playing, Wi-Fi is advertised, disabled WC is downstairs with other toilets signed as being upstairs. The seating wasn't overly comfortable, but was functional.

Worth a go, but I'd suggest you pay by card if possible!
