Cask was Okells Best & Rudgate Ruby Mild. Keg was Carling, dark fruits SB, Falcon Manx lager, Guinness, Orchard Isle Apple Cider, Amstel & Moretti.

Large venue with extensive outside seating at the front via picnic benches on the grass. Inside the lounge bar was bare boarded with the two-sided bar counter in one corner and stretching through into the public bar. The lounge bar had limited tall stool seating at the bar counter and lots of regular tables and chairs including some up a couple of steps in the front corner overlooking the front beer garden. Most of the tables were laid for diners but this side was v quiet on my late teatime visit. The public bar was also bare boarded with more tall stool seating at the shorter bar counter this side. A single TV showing some showjumping on my visit, no commentary but a hip-hop soundtrack playing. A pool table, several fruit machines and a mish mash of seating options serving regular tables.
