Three hand pumps, two unclipped, one with the clip for OSH turned around. Plenty of keg options, Guinness, Amstel, Strongbow regular and dark fruits, John Smiths, Brixton Reliance pale ale, Moretti, Cruz, Peroni, Carlsberg, Carling, Neck Oil, Lilley's berries & cherries cider.

Large rectangle of a sports bar. Bar counter along the right-hand wall. Bare boarded throughout. Small raised area in window to right of door with its own TV on wall that would be a popular hire spot for a dozen or so. A leather banquette along left hand wall to the stage area in the middle of the wall, divided off other side by a leather banquette facing into the room. There are loads of tall tables with comfy tall stools in the middle of the venue. Raised areas either side of the walkway to the bathrooms, the left hand one hosting several tables and the right hand one being home to the pool table and dartboard, that part fronted into the room by a very high-backed semi-circular booth table. Goes without saying that there is a shed load of screens in here including a couple of very large plasma screens mostly showing the afternoon racing on my visit sans commentary, a rather loud pop track instead providing the audio entertainment.
