Old Boots left this review about Nags Head
Traditional Robbos pub opened out into a single main room with a dining/function room at the back and pool table in an alcove to the side. It was quiet when I arrived at early doors with the fairly miserable guvnor chatting to a couple of old blokes, when they left he turned the juke box back on and the place was overfilled with music until he turned the volume down. The L shaped counter is at the rear left with four pulls and a selection of T-Bars and solos, a couple located by a small serving hatch accessed from the back room. The casks were Unicorn (ok), plus Dizzy Blonde and Trooper, blank on number four. A couple of screens, one seems to be used only on major sporting occasions or perhaps only Manchester footy games, the other was on corporate adverts and notices of forthcoming live music at the pub. Nice geometric tiling in the entrance, some basic but original architrave, picture rail, dado, deep skirting and a proper carpet, a mix of traditional furniture with banquettes and lower chairs and stools at tables. Music, Man U and pub memorabilia forms the decor, the walls are in traditional red with cream above.

A fairly standard, unmodernised Robinsons pub. Bar to the left as you enter. Darts and 2 pool tables are available. 3 of the 4 handpumps were on. I had a pint of Dizzy which was OK, but not great. Friendly enough, but I can't see us visiting again. We'll leave this one to the locals.

Strongers . left this review about Nags Head
The Nags Head has a small U-shaped bar counter against the rear wall that supports standard keg, Birra Moretti and four hand pumps. This is a Robinson’s pub so the three pumps in operation were drawing Dizzy Blonde, Trooper and Unicorn. There are two pool tables and the dartboard at the rear was hosting Monday night darts league. The televisions throughout were all showing muted football whilst some background music played off the jukebox. There was a decent atmosphere, but it would have been dead if the darts team was playing away.
