This is * CAMRA Inventory pub and it’s a brilliant little backstreet poke; well-presented externally, tidy and cosy inside with a roaring fire and a real old skool feel with plenty of items of interest which feel like they have been organically collected over time. GBG listed with three cask, a very simple selection of national classics – GK Abbot (NBSS 3), TT Landlord and Youngs Ordinary (4) - with the landlady calling the damage like a darts referee, whilst a well-refreshed patron was bellowing the live footy scores like a human vidiprinter. Darts and papers available. Toasties offered - if there's enough staff (which there wasn’t as the landlady served me a went off on a well-earned break). An authentic gem. 8.5

Unchanged since previous reviews, and very much a locals community pub. Youngs, Black Sheep, Landlord and Abbot appear to be stock beers.

Well described below, this pub retains its character and is a welcoming back street local. The seats at the front were occupied by smokers, but we were greeted pleasantly before even going in. Inside, the dartboard was not in use, there is a collection of books to borrow and there were a couple of tv screens being unobtrusive and showing Sky Sports. The background music was agreeable, They hold regular quiz nights and are inclusive of strangers. Three ales on draft, I had Young's Bitter, which was reasonably well kept but not stunning. A decent pub, worth a visit.
