Nothing much changed since Robs last visit,there was still a lack of cask beer,but the Sam Smiths Stout was top notch which invariably it is.

Many years ago, when the earth was young, this was my local. I was the captain of the darts team and even played cricket for them. I also used to DJ here in the 80’s. It’s changed a bit since then, but it’s still basically the same. White painted walls outside, the entrance door, up a couple of steps, leads to a corridor with two doors off. These lead to the pubs two comfortable lounges although one is still used for darts & dominoes. It’s a Sam Smiths pub so prices are very competitive, however it has no cask ale, even the OBB is keg. It’s a pleasant enough pub but the lack of cask ale means that I don’t visit that often anymore.
