Visited 29/04/26
No cask. Three hand pumps serving as blue paper holding handles only. Keg offering of original and dark fruits SB, Moretti, Stella, Carling, Brains Bitter Smooth, Carlsberg, Guinness, Cruz, San Miguel.
Estate type venue. Bare boarded. The bar counter is to the left of the entrance, and this is where most of the action was on my visit. There are a couple of pool tables plus a bunch of regular and high tables around the glass frontage. The rear bar was closed on my visit but the rear outside space provided an impressive viewing of the town in the distance. Nothing special from a beer drinker perspective but this felt like an important community drinking premises as not too much else in immediate vicinity.
