I agree broadly with previous reviewer. Was touching on being a bit rough too when I went in. Handy for a quick half when one's ordered at the asian takeaway though!

Another one of the legion of Rugby pubs that could be decent but just aren't.
6 handpumps, two with clips on when I went in last...Old speckled hen and Courage. Someone else got the round in, and we ended up with the Courage...with rising bubbles, no less! What they're doing is taking an order from people in front of the pump, then going round the other side and serving the pints from the tap - "smoothflow" or whatever. So...false advertising there. If that behaviour is not illegal it should be.
Basically, kids' play area in the back and keg crap in the front. Maybe pop in to check if they ever have a decent beer on, but otherwise don't bother.
No idea why they are in the GBG, and ignore the cask marque, as usual.

A great beer drinkers pub and community local as well. A good pint and a nice atmosphere to accompany it too - does one need more? A good example of a Charles Wells Brewery allowing the tenant some leeway to take other brewers' beers to boost trade. Well done!

Enjoyed a Wells Bombardier in the sun trap of a garden at this friendly community local.

Young's Winter Warmer was very good in January 08. Nice place, around 60 seconds from the Alexandra Arms but I suspect caters for a younger clientele.
A few ales on but Winter Warmer was the only one which appealed to me, three times in fact!

A decent drinkers pub with a good if unimaginative range of beers.Very opressive before the smoking ban but now much imporoved.

An interesting back street boozer. Selection of ales is ok and the pub is quite interesting. Pub games are quite a feature.
