Quite a let down this one, the promising exterior leads to a poorly modernised small interior more akin to a Cocktail bar, the two adjoined alcove rooms downstairs are more cosy but I generally prefer to sit in view of the bar. Four handpumps but no cask available on my Saturday visit! there was a turned Redemption clip and one other so presumably cask is available on occasion.My Big Penny Pale Ale on keg was somewhat nondescript.I'd say it's not likely I'll return here.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Newman Arms
Was a cosy little terraced pub until modernised as the Truman's tap, but still with some attractive tiling under the front windows. Can get very crammed inside, but it also has a couple of alcoves downstairs that might be worth a look if busy. Trinity (horribly £5.50 for a 3.0% beer) and Kazbek from the four handpumps on this visit, plus four of the brewery's craft beers and a lager from among the keg offerings.

A very thorough PSM review needs little adding.This pub is a brewery tap for Truman's with three on offer on my trip Lazarus,Scratcheroo (season cricket theme) and Scorcher (another seasonal but lacking character).Another handpump was unused and several Truman keg beers were also available.
The food menu shows lots of sharing platters while I enjoyed a good salt beef bagel for £6.50.Upstairs is really a dining area with a waitress while it is strange that there is a Basement Lounge because this is also the location of the loos,detracting a little from the atmosphere.
It is small and maybe is best appreciated when quiet.I have felt for a while that Truman's are a second division brewer ,which would put me off a revisit for anything other than the interesting food.
