Now closed, likely to be turned into a house. Ex-Enterprise.

This is possibly the worst proper pub I've ever been in. The inside was manky, grubby and smelly, which contrasted hilariously with the brand new gleaming lager fonts. There was no ale (though I wasn't surprised). The toilets were akin to relieving yourself in a festival portaloo mid-summer - stinking and festering, I thought I might catch a disease. The customer base was, well, base. The only small ray of light in the otherwise dreadful place was the garden - which whilst not kept in any great condition at least meant an escape from the interior. You have been warned.
