I don't know how I'd missed this Heritage pub out before, I was even in close proximity in Oct 2018, on our Pubs Galore Crawl when visiting the nearby Crown and Kettle.
This is a Grade II listed building dating from 1776. I especially liked the ceramic exterior and the ornate glazed tile bar front. The jukebox was pretty neat too, from the late 70s. The manageress gave us a tour of the large back room which is used for music events.
Seven pumps with six in use Robinson's Unicorn, Dizzy Blonde & Trooper, Titanic Plum Porter & Raspberry Pale and Old Rosie Cider.

Update - 17/02/23 - upping to a 10. Titanic plum ported on, Perfect Day by The The on the Jukebox and I managed to get a seat at the bar, joining into many conversations. Love this pub.
Very handsome grade II listed pub that wears its 200 years well. Shabby chic, I'd call it.
Great jukebox, quality Sunday papers and tiled front bar area. Nice locals. Robinsons beers in decent condition.
Worth seeking out for some old school drinking.

Alluring brown tiled exterior and I was drawn-in by the porch mosaic, lincrusta ceiling and beautiful ceramic bar (it is, of course after that description, CAMRA Inventory listed). A bijou main bar with minimal seating though as the first customer of the day I got the comfy window banquette with full view of the beautiful ceramic servery (were there other rooms? There was no indication anything existed down the corridor but other reviews suggest otherwise). Six pumps with five cask and a cider; 3x Robinson and 2x Titanic (which seem to be a regular fixture). My Unicorn was a bit flat (NBSS 2) but tasted fine. A friendly camp barman and Abba Gold on the stereo ticked some boxes for the area. I enjoyed my 20 minutes, it’s a nice little pub. Should have gone for the Plum Porter though...
