Visited 22/11/24
Two cask, Bread of Heaven from Brains and HPA from Wye Valley. Also had Double Dragon Ale on tap from Felinfoel. Other keg was Guinness, Madri, Stella, Peroni, Carling, Neck Oil, Asahi, SB, BrewDog Hazy Jane, Thatchers Haze.
Cracking pub. Flooring was boards or parquet throughout. Bar counter just to left of door with small seating area in front thereof including a church pew in the window. Loads of rugby memorabilia on the walls here! Some tables down the right-hand side before venue opens-up behind the bar into a room with regular tables and some banquettes. There is another room at the back with a corner fitted leather banquette. Tropical wallpaper in parts and several TV’s showing sports. Good rugby watching pub.

A local feel to a pub at the end of a row of shops and close, up the hill from the wonderful cathedral.
Comfortable, traditional front snug and larger back bar. Lots of rugby photos around.
The outside stone advises its a Hancocks house and they still sell Hancocks HB, though its a little warm.
Nice
