Quinno _ left this review about The Queens Tap

Having made impressive progress down the hill and finding my train running 15 minutes late, I popped back in here for a swift one. Greeted by naff loud modern music and the clacking of pool balls. The lower servery is a lovely bit of carved wood and the place is in a good state of repair but that's where the positives end. Two cask which were both rugby themed and post 6 Nations I wasn’t expecting much; inevitably my Sambrooks Drop Kick didn't clear (NBSS 1.5) and on another day I’d have argued the toss. If the Arkells place on the opposite side of the road actually bothered to open after 8pm on a weekday they’d be more likely to have my business. Mind you, given the six other punters in here, maybe there isn’t much business? 4.5

July 2015
Basic boozer opposite station. Open-plan horseshoe shaped interior, burgundy ceiling and white/grey décor. Nice light varnish wood panelling on bar front. Pool table to left. Three pumps; Doom Bar and Bombardier (so-so) on, with Brains Rev James turned - so the signs proclaiming ‘a great range of cask ale’ are somewhat boastful. It’s just about OK, preferred the Arkells place next door as a first/last 'drink by the station' venue. Rated 5

The Queen's Tap is convenient for that final drink before catching a train home. It is on a street corner across the street from the station.

After completing track and trace formalities, we were disappointed with the real ale selection, which comprised of only Tribute. So, we ended up with sambucas to round off the day.

There is a central bar, plenty of TVs and a few other rowdy customers (I'm not sure whether or not we were rowdy at this stage). However, with its convenient location, I couldn't help but think that this place really isn't realising its full potential.

Old pub opposite the station. All in one knocked-through room with a central bar - a pool table to one side and a seating area to the other. Live music is featured. At the rear there is a little garden. There seemed to be up to 5 ales on offer, including some good local ones. Pleasant enough.
