The main bar appears quite bizarre – the steel poles holding the curtains looks like scaffolding. And the purple ceiling doesn't help. The saloon bar was much more impressive with plenty of original Victorian features, but the effect was largely ruined by the massive heat extractor trunking from the kitchen area behind the bar running across and around the ceiling. They had a couple of real ales on – TT Landlord and OSH. The Landlord was OK. It's an “OK” pub, but I doubt whether I'll go out of my way to visit again.

Went in with high hopes as we saw 3 hand pumps. as all the pump clips were turned around we asked the barstaff if there was any real ale she just pointed to the fizz pumps (perhaps she could not speak english) totally disinterested. if you like very loud turkish music and staff that could not give a "monkey's" then you will be OK if not go to The grand Union 5 minutes walk up the road
