Ian Mapp left this review about The Farriers Arms
Really odd pub, this one. Seems to be quite popular for midday diners. But to me, its a far more dingy (in the nicest sense of the word) drinking den.
Entrance is a confused little alcove, where you can see the bar through a serving hatch and then need to work out how to get to the front of it. I went right - into a claustrophobic dining room. Look ceilings and the amount of furniture makes this quite difficult to navigate, without knocking over a pensioners walking frame.
A little alcove where the drinker congregate vertically. And then a small front bar, which could have been accessed via the alcove door to the left.
Two/three real ales on - Including Brains SA. But I was tempted by the handpull pumpclip of Malvern Gold Cider - which was actually dispensed from an out of sight box. Still, nice to have something different.
The much better Plough is just down the road - but the patrons here refer to it as "the waiting room of death". Can't think what they hold against it!

Looks ancient from the outside (concave, as noted elsewhere) but the interior has been knocked around somewhat. Tight and multi area'd, a bit dated décor-wise. Two main rooms, dining and bar. The dining area has tasteless furnishings and a large pool table dominates the bar area. A pretty bare feel with wooden floor and magnolia painted walls. Very basic rear patio, though had music piped and the selection wasn’t too bad. Three ales; Bombardier, Tribute and Charles Wells/Dogfish Head DNA. My DNA was in good form and slipped down quickly. Nothing overly special in a city full of good boozers, but the DNA I had gives me cause to say it's worth a look as a wildcard if you like your ale.
