Two handpumps providing Santa's Ale and Best Bitter both from Brains. There were another couple of hand pulls in the busier and more public bar side to the right of the entrance dispensing Lilley's Mango cider and Rosie's Pig cloudy cider. Keg offering of Carling, Stella, San Miguel, Guinness, Inch's, Carlsberg, original SB, Neck Oil, Cruz, Lowenbrau.

There was some seating out the front in this large pub on a busy road junction. Inside to the right of the entrance is the public bar, a mixture of bare boarded and carpeted with a patterned skirt in front of this side of the bar counter along the rear wall. Plenty of regular tables and chairs and the rear up a couple of steps and providing a dart board in the rear corner. Plenty of TVs with the volume turned up showing the rugby. To the left of the entrance is a large lounge bar, carpeted with shed loads of tables and regular chairs and banquettes along various parts of the perimeter. This side also had the rugby on but absent commentary and most here were dining. I think there was an outside area to the very left-hand side of the venue, but I didn't check it out.
