2nd of the GBG pubs in town.
This would be my local if l lived there.
Full of charm and rooms, hanging off other rooms.
Bustling on a Sunday Lunch - food looked great, Sunday Newspapers and roaring fires.
What more could you want?

This is clearly quite an old pub. It consists of several small rooms with a small bar counter in the middle. Wooden floorboards and beams sum the place up. It was quiet on my Friday midday visit with a few people in for food.
The bar has five hand pumps which sadly just had a fairly mainstream selection of Pedigree, Adnam's Mosaic, Oakham JHB, Doom Bore and Woodforde's Flagondry.
I went for the Mosaic (£3.75) which on a hot day was a bit on the warm side but not a disaster.
I think that this place would be better on a cold winter's day when the open fires are lit. Despite that it's a nice old pub and well worth a look. It's GBG 2015 listed.

A multi roomed pub selling a fair range of real ale but nothing outstanding. I was in there today at lunchtime but unlike 2011 I was the only one in there. Lacks any atmosphere.
