It's a bit of a walk from the town to this back street local in an area that is still losing pubs - the Princess Royal around the corner is "long term closed" on Camra's WhatPub. This one feels a bit rough around the edges, though the prospect of Draught Bass was encouragement enough for some of my drinking companions. I like Bass when it's well kept, like at the Vaults in Uttoxeter, for example. I decided to go for a football-themed beer from Woodforde's, called something like Lion's Roar, which was unmemorable (NBSS 2.5). The pub did not float my boat at all, as there was what my nose identified as a strong smell of dog, though it didn't seem to be coming from the small and innocuous one that we could see, but more likely well established in the carpet. I was glad I only had a half and could move on quite quickly.

A little terraced white rendered pub with front facing gable, green paint work and patio area.
The interior had just the one room that I saw, which was U-shaped around the serving bar. It is in green and white, with brown ceiling, green leather seats and there is a side area, in redish wallpaper of classical ruins in which there was a big music system. The walls had a mix of general prints and cartoons and there were a few trophies. There is a dart board, a TV which was showing Sky Sports News and the music was general stuff at an OK level. The service was fine and the clientele was mixed.
Beer; tap stuff with Bombardier, England's Pride, Courage Directors and Wentworth Honey, which was OK.
A decent enough place, but i can't help feeling, being miserable, that i would have preferred it when ETA visited.
