This pub wouldn't be out of place in the middle of a housing estate and having grown up in the middle of a housing estate I didn't mind it in here. I see nothing wrong with having a pint in this basic boozer whilst waiting for a train as the barmaid was very friendly and although the air was a bit blue and the locals looked a bit rough and ready I was made to feel welcome by most. There are five hand pumps, but unfortunately four are unused as only Pride was available along with a standard draught selection. There are a couple of plasma screens and a projector for the airing of Sky Sports, but as no worthwhile events were on during my afternoon visit a few of the locals were watching Judge Judy which I thought a bit depressing. There is a dartboard at the front of the pub and a good sized garden out the back that has a climbing frame at the rear to keep the kids amused whilst on a mind bending session. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to drink here again, but it serves a purpose and is better than nothing.
