A big corner pub from Amber Taverns with a strong local following. The interior is fairly traditional but tarted up a bit in their usual way, for example the trademark LED lighting under the bar counter. One long room wraps round the front, with one small side room and a tabled courtyard at the rear. A DJ deck and array of lighting in the middle hints at lively Saturday nights. Sadly cask ales have been discontinued, with a bog standard keg range and John Smiths the only bitter. Adequate as a locals' pub but no attraction for me.

A large, and by the looks of it, a popular pub. Open plan inside meaning one large barn-like room and approximately 400 tellies dotted around the place. The there were a couple of real ales on, though not too adventurous stuff with them being Hobgob and Marston's Bitter being on on my visit. Typical town centre boozer.

This is a nassive pub, it looks good from the oustside and the inside is nicely decorated as well. What a shame about the clientele, who were loud, sweary, stupid and rough as robbers dogs during our Monday lunchtime visit. The pub opens at 10 and some of these had definitely been in since 10:01! The barman wasn't helping by shouting back at some of the idiots. There are loads of TVs everywhere and they were showing different channels. Two rel ales on the bar, both from the Marston's stable. I had a pint of Hobgoblin which was in decent nick and was even cheaper than the nearby Wetherspoons. I suspect that explains the clientele. Won't ever be visiting this one again.
