Finally made it to go in, pub lunch, on a Friday
Has wheelchair ramp as well as steps, reasonable sized car park but free on street parking if needed
I counted 8 hand pumps, two out of use, pipe cleaning etc, plus usual keg stuff
A large knocked through bar, carpeted in the main, but does have hard flooring to the left
Divided into area areas, but still open plan
As you walk in through the only door, at the front where you would expect it to be, there is a large dining & carpeted are to right, bar ahead, more dining to left
For food it is find a table, remember the number, order at bar style, worked for us
Mainly given over to eating, which seems very popular on our visit, and the food was value for money and tasty, although it may very well come from a factory in a lorry
Silent TV, but may not be in the evening
Two bar staff on during my visit, polite & helpful
Not a destination pub IMO but certainly worth dropping in if in the area
