I nearly passed on this one due to the Friday night karaoke but I gave it a go and sat at the bar. It was actually good fun but I’d like to come again on a calmer afternoon to appreciate the quaint interior. On the bar were a couple of Joules standards plus a new seasonal Blackberry Stout which was a bit underwhelming. I like Joules’ refurbishments a lot, but never totally convinced by the beer.

Visited back in March. The bar sports six hand pulls offering three ales duplicated - at the time of my visit I think these were Blonde, Slumbering Monk and Pale. As has been mentioned, from the front there are two different styles of building which gives the impression of two buildings being knocked into one. I went for the Slumbering Monk and it set me back £1.70 for a half. This is a traditional feeling old pub although you can never tell with Joules as they are great at making their buildings look olde worlde. The front room was fairly bare in terms of seating with various tables and stools dotted around; a further room had comfortable banquette seating. Dogs appear to be welcome, a beer garden was signposted, and snacks are available. The gents were a bit basic and smelly, but adequate.

Looking like two buildings knocked into one although not, and renovated with Joules’ usual careful hand, a splendid version of an old pub, internally it also looks like two buildings with a dividing wall. It was once the Phoenix Tap as mentioned on WhatPub, and has signage for Bains & Co though probably not original. The right hand room has a fishy motif while the left most part contains the counter and a mix of seating, casks as tables and a wood burner; its banquette seating in the fishy room. Six pulls but doubled up with Joules beers on this occasion, Blonde, Pale and the lovely Slumbering Monk, fortunately I’m a big fan of Joules so take that Ray. Great beer and friendly staff, I was less enamoured of the constant 1980s music.
