This pub has Cameron's signage on it but I really don't know whether it actually is one of their pubs. After you enter there is a door on the left and a door on the right. The right hand door leads to a bright narrow room with a pool table at the rear. I chose the left hand door which leads to a darker narrow room with old heavy metal posters and a stage at the far end. It was clear that live music plays a big part here. It wasn't very busy on a Wednesday afternoon.
The bar serving area is between the two rooms and there were two hand pumps on both sides. Only two beers were available Cross Bay Halo and something by Marstons called Wozz Ale. The Halo had slipped so I had a Wozz Ale which was in reasonable condition, very pedestrian but cheap at £2.40.
I don't think many come here for the beer rather than the live music but the lady serving seemed genuine and friendly enough.

This is an excellent pub for real ales and is excellent value. A wide range of products available.
