Dating from 1855, this place was rebuilt in 1933.
The exterior is quite plain, but inside it seems that nothing from the ‘30s remains. It’s essentially a long room, with a modern boarded floor and a universal ‘wasabi’ colour scheme. Furniture is quite conventional, some painted. The bar front is clad with textured metallic tiles, with a similarly ‘wasabi’ plywood back with mirrors. Lighting was filament in origin, but varied in style. Décor comprises prints for household products, probably on sale from the ‘30s to ‘50s; examples can be seen on the pub’s website gallery. There’s an ugly Clear Channel illuminated advertising board, thereafter quite a few TVs showing at least two matches at volume, with at least one games machine. Customers were undiscerning locals and some who were actually interested in watching the football for once.
The barman was courteous, serving me with a half of Neck Oil at £3.40 due to a solitary pump, devoid of a clip.
This is a very basic pub, fulfilling a basic purpose: sport and lager.
I don’t have any inclination to return to this benighted road, let alone pub, but if you do find yourself here, the Distillers is marginally better.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Duke of Cornwall
Routine town-centre pub with a refurbished interior but a rather inconvenient arrangement of seating areas. However, there is a patio area out front which usually seems popular. Pride and Tribute (£4.00) available from the two handpumps on this visit. Regular live music advertised, and it's close to the Apollo but probably one to avoid unless you are really pushed for time for a pre-gig pint.

Probably in here within a few days of Rex.Thought it was a bit dull and also noted the national flags gave it a down market feel.Ouside seating to the rear.Pride and a decent Tribute.
