Overpriced, arrogant and rude barman in a garish waistcoat, dirty bar area, slow service and unimaginative menu (uses local produce - good... doesn't give a thought as to how the ingredients should go together - bad), but good beer. Take the pumps and cellar to another pub and the other pub would benefit. Other than this (and the fantastic decor), there is little to recommend. Avoid, unless you're desperate to throw your money away.
