Coming in through the front entrance reveals a carpeted seating area to the left with a coal fireplace and dartboard. To the right the carpet runs through to a bar counter that supports four hand pumps, with two in operation drawing Bradfield Farmer’s Blonde and Oakham JHB. Standard and premium keg was also available and a food cabinet was storing rolls and sausage rolls. My visit was late so these must have been for the next day. Having finished my half of JHB I wondered to the toilet at the rear where I stumbled upon a rear bar. Spotting four more hand pumps I decided to stay for half a Ludlow Blonde. Wye Valley’s Butty Bach, Holden’s Golden Glow and Bristol Beer Factory’s Divide were also available. There was a group of beardy types discussing the fact that the pub had recently been taken over and that Steve, who apparently, was crap at customer service, but great at keeping beer had left. I liked it in here and will pop back in when next in the area, although I was surprised when last orders were called at 22:15.

Scooted down here as it stops serving at 11.30pm on Thursdays. A little off the beaten track down a side street outside of the arterial road that effectively signifies the boundary of the town centre. Inside, it’s an inverse J shape with the bar at the apex. Fairly basic with aged brown fabric banquette seating, curtains, modern brown carpet and off-white walls and ceiling. Dart board. 8 pumps and 7 on, with a good selection of northern and midlands regionals. My Oakham Citra was a little warm but ostensibly fine – though at 11.15pm on a Thursday night a beer as good as Oakham should never be warm, so presume they are guilty of stocking more beers than they can shift to please the sweet-shop CAMRA crowd? There were a small band of locals in after 11. It was fine, probably worth the yomp on a crawl but the warm Oakham makes me think that it isn’t essential.

A decent watering hole this one, especially for the prison wardens coming off a shift from across the road. We popped in on a Saturday afternoon when the pub opens at 12pm and not 3pm according to Camra WhatPub. I immediately went for the Bewdley Brewery Worcestershire Way and then one of their regular beers Bradfield Farmers Blonde. They had a choice of seven ales on handpump on our visit. There was also a beerboard on the wall, listing their forthcoming ales, settling in the cellar.
We sat in the far lounge with was slightly bigger than the front room. This area had cream walls, comfortable banquette seating and a carpeted floor. The bar had a pine counter and a brick foot rest along the floor perimeter. The lounge area had lots of bric a brac and the theme was obviously to do with greyhounds. A decent respectable pub, so well worth a visit.
