Situated in the Georgian Quarter,this pub has a wonderful interior worthy of close inspection.Named after a longstanding landlord who died in 1950,it's quirky to boot.There is lots of wood panelling and has a central corridor with the bar,while the front snug to the right of the entrance has a curved banquette,wall murals depicting some humourous scenes and a collection of musical instruments hanging from the ceiling.The tables here all have inlaid ashtrays ,not usable these days but a design feature.There is a door to the bar but no counter.On the other side of the serving bar is a back lounge ,descrete but being used by the publican as a quiet seating for his elderly female relative,with some shopping recently delivered.
Opposite the bar there is a two level lounge with some impressive banquettes and chandeliers.Live music is a feature here,although with it's modest interior maybe this will be small scale.There are no flatscreens,muzak or machines so a very authentic feel.
There were 5 handpumps working on my trip serving GK Abbott,Lees Big Bad Wolf,Wadworth Dirty Rucker,Tall Ships Waterloo Sunset and Rock the Boat (NBSS 2.5,it failed to rock my boat).This wasn't a great line up with several undistinguished brewers wares on display which was a fly in the ointment.Worth a one pint stop to see the interior and very genuine boozer atmosphere.

Enjoyed our visit to this 2019 Good Beer Guide pub with it's rooms that are so full of all sorts from radios to bikes and chamber pots. Decent beer choice and we selected Peerless Down Under and Big Bog Hinky Pink, both of which were fine. Other beers were Flying Monk Mighty Monk and Big Bog WPA.

the beer choice is as good as it needs to be, the joy here is in the multiple room classic interior, a destination drinkers pub par excellence. I tried twice to find it without a map and failed spectacularly, nice to finally drink a pint here although it was pretty dead on a Wednesday afternoon.
