This pub used to be the Waterloo but has recently undergone a refurbishment and is now under new management.thought the place quite smart but only one other customer on my visit. It classes itself as a British/Indian pub and had Indian background music playing and noticed a fair amount of Indian decorations. I checked the menu out and could not find any English items apart from plain chips.

Very basic pub full of loud, swearing, testosterone filled 30 year olds on my Friday evening visit. The pool room was full of little kids, there's a really bad atmosphere in here. On the positive side the bar back is very nice as was the barmaid. No real ale of course. No reason to ever visit again. One for the locals.
