OK I’ll admit that this was visited with a bit of trepidation, as it’s situated in a very down-at-heel area and I just wanted to tick it off for the name. It’s a Sam Smiths pub and has a quite unusual interior layout. To the right is a massive open room with arched ceiling, the centre of which is dominated by full sized snooker table (with a pool table also) along with with three dart boards on a raised area off right. Sets of aged tables and chairs arranged around the outside perimeter, with a large bay window area at front populated by a lot of old men shouting in Northern at each other but friendly enough. Through a door and turn right to a large lounge room, dated but comfy. The 60s bar area serves both rooms with a full keg range, but no cask OBB. Two halves of mild clocked in at an astonishingly low £1.34, served up by a very friendly barmaid. It was Desmond's round and he was grinning like a cat that had well and truly got the cream. Whilst no-one talked to us, we were quite the centre of attention – I doubt there's anyone who drinks here who isn’t a weekly regular. Whilst I’m hardly going to recommend a jaunt to sample it, I sincerely hope it survives and thrives.
