The Ape and Apple is a Holts pub with a bar counter on the rear wall that supports eleven hand pumps. The Two Hoots was off so only Bitter and IPA were available, I can’t remember the last time I found a Holts pub with more than two of their range available. The open plan seating is broken up by a supporting pillar and televisions are found throughout for airing Sky Sports. All were muted in favour of background music during a recent Tuesday evening visit. Upstairs is a lounge area that is available for hire. I might pop back in if passing, then probably not.

Doesn't sound like it has changed much since earlier reviews. Several hand pulls with Holts Bitter, IPA and Two Hoots. They also have the Trailblazer Stout on keg. Not sure if it is true, but the story I heard is that Holts fell out with the makers of Guinness so decided to brew their own stout to sell in their pubs instead. As a replacement for Guinness, this is a good stout. Also stayed for a Two Hoots (cask), which I am sure I must have had in the past but many years ago. This was surprisingly decent with nice hoppiness. At the time of my visit, table service and QR code check-in was enforced, but my visit was just prior to the easing of restrictions on 19 July.
It was a hot day and all the windows and doors were open. My one complaint here would be that when some people go outside for a smoke, they lean into the pub through the open window and fill the pub up with smoke!
Not likely to become a regular haunt of mine, but nice to refresh my memory as my previous visit was probably about 8 years ago.

I called in on the Saturday morning after Aqualungs visit,Its as he described of course, there are 11 handpumps in total all clipped but only the three beers available, Bitter,IPA and Two Hoots at the very reasonable price of £2.93, one solitary handle was dispensing Old Rosie Cider.
It had a reasonably pubby feel but it wouldn't be anywhere near my first port of call on a crawl, more like an after thought.
