The building hasn't changed much since Blackthorn's review below, except that the scaffolding has gone. Snacks are still on offer, the clientele is mainly students, the staff are friendly and it's a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the ambience of a traditional town pub. On this occasion it was let down by the beer - two pumps on the bar, both clipped for BBF ales, both had run dry leaving a keg selection of Neck oil, Moretti, Amstel, Amstel, Guinness, Thatcher's Gold and Rascal. I'd like to try it again when there is some ale on draft.

A traditional old corner pub that seems to be having some work done at the moment with plenty of scaffolding around the outside. Hopefully they wont be touching the interior, as that has a certain dated charm to it.

It's the sort of place that probably hasn't really changed much in decades, with a rough wooden floor, and a mis-match of wooden tables. There's a pile of board games, table football, a couple of shelves of books and a selection of photo-art on the wall, much of it for sale. There is also a small courtyard out the back with a BBQ.

Food offering was more along the lines of snacks than substantial meals, with a selection of sandwiches, tapas, platters, etc.

Beer offering was a bit disappointing. Although there were four pumps on the bar, only one was in use offering Bath Ales' Jem. To be fair, it looked as though the BOB may have recently run out as the pump clip was turned round, but the other two pumps appeared to be unused. The solitary cider was Thatcher's Gold.

Nice enough place with a couple of decent ales on (forgot to note which), and a fair selection of other stuff including a cider. Was dead when we went in, though to be fair it was 1pm on a Saturday. Nice enough inside, quite comfy seating with a bare wooden floor. Pub sign is unusual.
