As described below, this is a simple place.
I went for the Hop Back GFB, lovely and the best half of the day.
In a word: better than it looks from the outside.

Strongers . left this review about Deacons
Deacons has a central entrance that opens into a parquet floored wood panelled bar where a barrel sits in the left-hand window, and a high table sits opposite in the right. There’s a fireplace on the left-hand wall adjacent to a television that was off while some background music played from the jukebox during a recent Friday afternoon visit. The serving counter across the rear wall to the right supports premium keg and three hand pumps, the Bass was off, so the cask options were Dark Revolution’s Hazy Day and Hop Back’s GFB. Steps to the left of the counter rise to a tile floored room with padded benches, tables and chairs up the left rear and two dartboards on the right rear wall that are faced by a green sofa. I enjoyed my visit to the basic pub, but I think that was due to the group I was with rather than the surroundings, but I will mention that the barman was very friendly.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Deacons
Basic, unpretentious pub with a compact front bar and more seats up a few steps at the back. Traditional alehouse-style furniture and decoration, but a bit smarter than I remember from my last visit over 12 years ago. We found Hop Back's GFB and Hazy Dazy from Dark Revolution (£2.50, half) being served on two of the three handpumps, with the Bass temporarily unavailable from the other.
