This is a decent sized pub with a traditional interior. The layout consists of a side street entrance, where you walk into the main bar area, with a good sized bar, positioned on the right hand side. There was also a comfortable lounge area from this, which ran along the right hand side of the pub and was accessible from two archways at either end of the lounge. The colour scheme was white and light green painted walls with green patterned upholstered banquette seating running the length of the lounge. There was also some original leaded stain glass windows, which added some opulence. Five ales on handpump, Full Mash Apparition, Doombar, Bass, Pedigree and Pendle White Witch. We opted for the Full Mash, which was in good order.
The pub only had a hand full of customers on our Saturday eve visit. Maybe they had all cleared off when the unfriendly and sly looking young barman had started his shift. Other customers were also unfriendly to visitors apart from one lady who was helpful, calculating the walking time back to the train station, which was less than a ten minute walk.

At the time of my visit there was a petition on the bar, and a public meeting due to be held with the local MP, because of a rent hike of 42% being imposed by Enterprise Inns. This is a friendly community pub in the back streets of a small town, being well run by a couple with an enthusiasm for real ale and real pubs. It would be a shame if the greedy stuffed shirts at head office were to spoil the party by making it impossible for them to make a living while benefiting the community. There were seven hand pumps, with beers such as Naylors Resolution, Bottle Brook Columbus, Cumberland Corby Fox, Bass and Marstons Pedigree. There's a 10p per pint discount for Camra members.
Date of visit 29th January 2014.

A real back street local worth seeking out. Last time I visited they were offering Deuchars IPA and guest ales. Oh and a large dog!
