Huge place but both Real Ales were turned round so only lager and cider on offer. Nothing special.

After being closed for two and a half years this former mechanics institute opened in November 2014 after undergoing a 1.6 Million pound makeover.In the daytime this is more of a café bar,with a nightclub upstairs which opens Fri,Sat and Mon.On my Tuesday morning visit tried a pint of Black Sheep which was one of the 2 casks on show.
