Curious place, not the traditional unspoiled interior I was somehow expecting. It's highly modernised inside with an unsightly green porch intruding into the space (though obviously keeping out the cold when it needs to). I was surprised to find just 2 pumps on the bar, and disappointed to see only one clipped. Fortunately this was dealing in Shere Drop from Surrey Hills. Craft keg features Neck Oil, Punk and a couple from nearby Hogs Back. A simple menu is also offered.
It was comfortable enough but, to be honest, it felt more like a social club for the small number of regulars and I left feeling distinctly underwhelmed.

The Keep is a small pub that is situated on a decent looking street.
Once inside there is a smallish single square shaped room with the bar on the right side,the floor is bare boarded,the seating is settees and puff stools to the front and pew seats and normal tables and chairs elsewhere.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Hogs Back TEA,which went down well,the other real ale was St Austell Tribute.
The pub was fairly busy on my Saturday afternoon visit.
Quiet background music was playing.
I thought this was a decent enough pub to have a drink in.

On my visit I would describe The Keep as a cosy bar, a late afternoon/early evening Sunday visit found upon entry a modern Jazz band in full swing, sorry if I got the musical genera wrong but it was along those lines,the place was rammed with appreciative punters and all though not my particular thing it made for a good vibe. A fairly small,square single bar full of tables chairs and sofas, with some room to vertical drink at the bar if desired or as on the night required, I didn't manage to investigate the previously reported upstairs bar or rear courtyard. Four pumps on the bar with one not in use, Firebird Old English Ale XXXX and First Gold by Brains and on the third active pump a real Cider (I assume) which unfortunatley I failed to note. I did quite warm to the place if not my usual kind of hangout , would I call in again? Yes.
