All change again, new manager etc. Theakstons Best as the single cask with usual suspect kegs, More minimalism decor, the walls have covered with pictures of film stars and a guessing game can be played by seeing how many you recognise, some are before they were famous. For bonus points name the film the stills are from. They are trying hard with more emphasis on live music and events.

Another change of ownership and decor with various shades of grey splashed about. Same layout with seating to the right and a larger public bar straight ahead. Lots of toys to occupy the easily bored with machines, darts, a pool table and screens, one of which was on a music video channel - no doubt for the barmaid’s benefit rather than that of the middle aged plus clientele’s. Just the one beer, Hobgoblin Gold not a favourite but a reasonable pint; as they say better one in good condition rather than eight in mediocre (or worse!). Still has its beer garden adjacent to the canal.

A change of ownership has refreshed the pub and the beer range. Decor has been updated and more interesting beers are featured, Abbeydale and White Rat along with the new better tasting Black Sheep bitter.
