A large rectangular pub which would be open plan apart from the rows of square pillars. The front windows open right up in warm weather and there is a large garden at the rear. Sadly still no handpumps.

Large front room with bar to rear. The front is for diners. Also a back room with, for some reason, a table tennis table. No real ale at all.

I nearly walked past the Jam Tree during a recent Saturday afternoon crawl of the area because I thought that it had been hired our for some sort of reception. All of the tables that line the floor to ceiling front windows were taken up by young well-dressed people who were all drinking prosecco. I had a good look around and I didn’t spot one person having a pint, even though a range of premium keg products were available from the bar. I also spotted a lone hand pump on the bar that runs along the rear wall, but this had its clip reversed. Feeling like a gate crasher I decided to drink my beer in the garden at the rear that houses some picnic tables on a paved area and some covered seating and table tennis on some decking. On my way to the garden I came across another large seating area at the rear where there is also a small bar to save customers walking to the front for a top up.
In the main bar area is a television that was switched off, but there was some background music playing that was hardly audible over the chatter of 150 to 200 people. I’m still not entirely sure if I stumbled into a private gathering or not because I saw nothing here that I think would warrant this kind of popularity. The service was friendly, but I prefer a proper pub so I do not plan to return any time soon.
