No cask. Keg offering of Neck Oil, Pravha, Alpacalypse, Moretti, Cruz, Guinness, and Aspall.

Typical example of the chain. Glass fronted bar and restaurant with picnic benches out front he front. Generally bare boarded with a tile skirt around the bar counter which itself is tile fronted on the wall opposite the entrance and to the right of it. To the left of the entrance are some tall tables with tall, backed stools and a leather booth table in the front left-hand corner. Tall tables with the same tall, backed stools in front of the bar counter and some lime green booth tables in the front windows to the end of the bar counter. The restaurant starts beyond the end of the bar counter down the remaining length of the venue with the open kitchen along the right most wall. No screens (which explains why it was largely empty an hour before the KO in the Eng v Argentina game) and a rather poppy soundtrack instead entertaining the few drinkers and diners in the venue. Have a bit of a soft spot for the Bar & Block venues and so will miss when they disappear in about 6 weeks time.
