Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Hop & Friar
Remodelled / refurbished side-street pub that looks more modern inside than the heritage exterior would suggest. Rather nondescript opened-out interior with pool table, etc. As a Marston's house, I found Banks's Amber (£3.65) and Wainwright Gold available from two of the four handpumps.

Largish pub with 4 real ales but nothing strong. Various TVs and a beer garden round the back.

Formerly known as the Acorn the once multi-roomed interior is now one big open plan room with a few seperate areas for darts and pool , not the most upmarket pub in town but pretty friendly , usual taps and four handpulls , two on with Banks Bitter and Hobgoblin , the bitter was fine .
Its OK in here if not great
