Visited 20/03/25
No cask. Basic keg offering of Guinness, Thatchers Gold, Sharps Atlantic Pale Ale, Worthington CF, Madri, Carling, Coors, Stella, Inch's cider, SB original.
This is a pretty basic pub, single bar with a room out the back that doesn't seem to be currently in use. The bar counter is on the back wall, with a good number of stools around the counter in a venue that is fully bare boarded. The right-hand wall is original stone wall with a fire grate, not in use on my visit but looks like generally used. Regular tables and chairs on this side and well occupied on my visit by locals enjoying their pints and collective banter. The TV's were switched off on my visit but they advertise outside as offering all channels for live sport. The beams and supports mid venue were obviously original and whilst the beer choices here are pretty basic, this is a nice pub to visit and spend some time in. There is a nice outside beer garden on the left-hand side of the pub, partly covered, that was popular on a really sunny early evening.
