Before popping in here on Saturday afternoon I spotted a sign outside saying that it had reopened the day before. I'm glad that it had as although it is not a pub that is going to win any awards I found it to be relaxing and the governor to be a friendly enough chap.
As I had been on Guinness for most of the day I decided to sample a pint of theirs and it was very nice. Greene King IPA and Old Speckled Hen were also available alongside San Miguel, Staropramen, Gaymer's pear and apple ciders and a selection of standard lager.
There is no Sky Sports and the only TV was a small portable on the bar that was showing the woman's tennis final at Wimbledon. There is a piano that had some books piled on top of it that were available to borrow for a small donation, I'm not sure how much small is or where this money goes. There is also a pool table in a room to the side the leads to a partially covered and decked area outside that houses a small BBQ. There is a very big garden/field out the back that has a few picnic tables by the other rear exit, but this needs some work doing to it to be considered a beer garden.
I wouldn't go out of my way to drink here again, but I would use it if I lived locally.
