This pub does not look much from the outside, but the inside has that low ceilinged look of a country pub, with its dark painted beams and posts. It’s surprisingly spacious inside with several interconnected rooms meandering around the bar counter, including what might best be described as a snug on the left with a few tables and chairs in it (and a dartboard), that looks as if it might have been a later addition to the pub building. It’s carpeted throughout with only normal metal framed tables, normal chairs and small stools, and a few stools at the bar. Very traditional. There was a second dartboard in one of the main rooms. Nonetheless, the usual array of one-armed bandits and games machines were present, plus (muted) TV screens showing Sky Sports. On the real ale front there seems to be a Brain’s bias. They had Brain’s SA on (at £3.20 a pint), and “available soon” was Reverend James. Bombardier was also available during my visit. There were no food menus on the tables, but they clearly did food as I saw someone eating (I was in there on a Wednesday lunchtime). I quite like the look of this pub. I suppose it’s nothing very special really, but I thought it was a comfortable enough pub with the distinct appearance of a community local. The large garden at the back looks like a comfortable place to spend an hour or two on a warm day. I would be happy to visit again.
