Nice sprawling high street pub with loads of areas to sit. the part I was in had a big roll down TV screen and a stage for music. Food menus scattered around. Two real ales on which were Shropshire Gold and something else i have forgotten. Not cheap at £3.80 though. Decent pub I thought. I also got no impression of it being a Greene King operation.

A good old fashioned sort of pub with a good range of ales. At time of visit it was perhaps a little dominated by a clutch of locals right in the middle watching the sport, but a diversion through the side area found an empty space in the rooms beyond.

An attractive pub from the outside and reportedly the area's oldest pub. WhatPub has this down as a Greene King pub, but none of their beers were anywhere to be seen, so I suspect it may have changed hands at some point. Six pumps at the bar, spread across two banks, With Waterloo Sunset by Rock the boat duplicated across the two banks, joined by Phoenix Arizona and Formby Blonde by Red Star. The price of my half was reasonable and I was asked if I had a CAMRA card. A chalk board above the bar lists the ales available and included one which I assume was coming soon. I found the Waterloo Sunset to be a rather average golden ale but by no means offensive. Overall a nice pub and one I would be happy to give another try.
