Two cask options, Brains SA and the Tiny Rebel Cwtch red ale. Keg was Guinness, Carling, Alpacalypse, Worthington CF, Thatchers Gold, Staro & Madri.
This is a newly (yesterday) opened traditional pub just off the main shopping street in the centre of town. Single room venue, with corner entrance and bar counter in rear right-hand corner. The venue is carpeted in the centre of the room with modern block flooring around the perimeter. There is a long leather studded banquette in the windows to the right of the entrance and some booth tables to the left of the entrance. Regular tables and chairs in the middle of the venue. There were a decent amount of picnic style tables and chairs out the front and they were insanely busy as was the inside on a late Saturday afternoon that was v sunny. Also noted a pool table in the front of the venue that seems v out of place there when some extra tables would have been in demand many times over. Can only assume that it was insanely busy because it just opened and whilst there are many worse places to quaff in the centre of town this doesn't feel like it should be the hot ticket!
