Standard Micro shop conversion which stretches into the next building, where there is a pool table.
The beer range was quite pedestrian for a micro - nothing international noted, no fruit beers for Mrs M and some cask - most from Coach House Brewery (if I remember the name correctly).
Quite busy for a Friday afternoon. Not sure if this is down to the place itself or lack of alternatives in the area.

Single room micro though signage is on the adjacent building so don't be fooled! Laminate floor, stone effect wallpaper, white ceiling and some dried hops – standard micro decor. Five ales and some interesting kegs. I (foolishly, given the searing heat) went for the Big Bog Quagmire (NBSS 2 – not pulled for a long while) and 4Ts Tripwire (3.5). Classic micropub fail in that the guy behind the bar was monosyllabic and made no attempt to smile and make us feel welcome, so it was a slightly awkward 20 minutes. It’s worth a nose but the Red Lion is a better bet.
