Visited 01/10/25
Cask was a single hand pump providing the Glamorgan Bitter from the Glamorgan Brewing Co. Keg was Cruz, Inch’s, original & dark fruits SB, Stella, Coors, Carling and Guinness.
Small neighbourhood venue, chalk, and cheese from the Pilot down the same road. Small outside seating area at the front that was super busy on my visit and tumbleweed inside (I was the only punter inside). The venue is bare boarded at the front to just beyond the small bar counter on the right-hand wall just inside the entrance. Some tall stool seating at the bar counter plus a leather banquette serving a couple of tables on the wall opposite the bar counter. A couple of tables to the right of the entrance just inside the front door. Regular tables, chairs, and banquettes in the carpeted area beyond the bar counter with a pool table at the rear of the venue. A neighbourhood locals’ venue.

Fair to say the pub itself has probably seen better days but the beer was brilliant and the people really friendly. We will be back
