It doesn't look bad from the outside but inside it is a gutted sports bar type place, with naff music. The L-haped bar has a dartboard at one end and a TV at the other, while there is a decked area out the back. The trio of handpumps offered a blue roll, nothing, and a pretty horrible TT Landlord. The only slight good sign was that the newish barman was actually playing darts between serving, which is encouraging but not worth an extra point. Don't bother.

This pub has seen better days,on entry there was an unpleasant whiff of stale urine,the interior is scruffy and seemingly unloved.To the left up a step is an area with pine flooring and a flatscreen,while around bar area there is a brick fireplace with Chelsea pictures above then a darts board.The flatscreens were off,we were the only punters inside and just 1 handpump offering TT Landlord which the friendly barmaid was having trouble pulling through.It wasn't great either NBSS 2.5.
Outside there is a decking area then a large garden with kids play equipment .Seperately there is an outside gents and the building itself shows some age.However it really needs someone with imagination to strip out all the tat ,there is a decent pub waiting to be uncovered here,but in its current state little reson to revisit.

A fairly basic straight forward pub, L shaped with varios seating, some set for casual dining.
Three pumps with Doombar,Hogsback TEA and Otter Poppy Otter available. Although the pub is rather average the beer garden is particularly impressive ,well planted and spacious accessed via a decked outside terraced area.
