A large building, or combination of buildings, opened out around a very long bar counter. The central feature, for me at least, was the bank of five hand pumps, with the same line up as mentioned by the previous reviewer. I went for the Abbot which was in very good condition (NBSS 3.5). I quite liked it here - it was smart, light, comfortable, the beer was good, though the young lad behind the bar was definitely more interested in his phone than his customers. I went to use the toilet before moving on to the next pub and wished I had held on - it's only just around the corner. (Would have scored a seven with the beer quality and the general ambience, but the toilet drags it down to five.)

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bull
Curious-looking building, part three (low) storeys / part single storey. Inside, the 'L'-shape bar is fairly traditional but smartened up since my last visit 12 years ago. Now a Craft Union pub, I found Doom Bar, Hobgoblin IPA (£1.40, half), Ghost Ship, Abbot and Lilley's Mango cider being served from the bank of five handpumps (with the selection and quality both being a bit better than I was expecting).

A fairly standard pub. A L-shaped place that has been updated. There are 5 handpumps on the bar but there's nothing of interest. The beers were Doom Bore, Abbot, Old Speckled Hen and Hobgob today. Its a basic town centre pub to be honest.
