No cask currently. They have a good presence from Lost & Grounded, the Wanna Go to the Sun pale ale, the Keller Pils, the Saison D'Avon and the Extra Nice Lager. Other keg offerings of the London Black from Anspach & Hobday, the Iron Brew Sour from Vault City, Sassy Cidre, the Magazine Cover pale ale from Deya, the Painkiller IPA from local brewery Flowerhorn and the Nirvana low ABV pilsner.
Bare boarded glass fronted new tap room by Victoria Park with a small plate offering from the owners of the notable tasting menu restaurant Hireath across the road. Regular tables with regular chairs along the front window and in the space to the near side of the bar counter, which is in the rear right-hand corner. A partial wall separates the bar counter from the area to the side of it breaking up the otherwise quite small interior space quite nicely. There are a couple of leather studded wingback armchairs just inside the entrance. There is a narrow outside paved seating area just off the rear right-hand corner with just tall stool seating at a ledge overlooking the road out the front plus a few wooden patio style tables along the wall opposite the ledge. A sting a of clear lights would add some illumination to the area after dark. Currently no cask offering which notches the score down a little, but they expect to introduce via a handpump on the bar counter shortly as when it was offered from a cask round the back it didn't sell - presumably out of sight out of mind. Saying that a good addition to the local drinking scene and certainly above average in my view.

A brand new Taproom, in a former community cafe.
