A source of some disappointment - wasn't it once The Jericho Tavern?
Still, they offered Cameron's Strongarm as a guest on one occasion - under blanket. The horror.

Terrific pub in a characterful part of town (Jericho). Recently refurbished I understand, but have never been there before. Large main bar area with an open atrium to the second-floor ceiling,from which is suspended a large model of a Hawker Hart biplane. And I mean large - if it fell on you it would probably kill you! Above this is a lovingly- crafted version of the Sistine Chapel ceiling (honestly!). There are other rooms upstairs and a smaller bar at the front. Went there on a Sunday evening and rather than the usual dead atmosphere most pubs have on Sundays this was lively, with plenty of punters by closing time. The beer was from the Lake District brewery 'Jennings' - nice pint of Cumberland, but not sure what the connection is? Also Cider and German lager on draught

A bunch of us had a really nice time in here. Friendly staff, good music and good food.

I love this pub....the staff are very friendly, and play good music. The cider is tasty, and the garden is clean. Good decor inside too.
Recommended.

Not bad, beer a little limited but Marstons was good, nice fire too though strangely draughty. Good atmosphere though overall.

I went in this pub for the first time in ages the other day - the previous time it was pokey and unfriendly and I felt really uncomfortable. What a change! The staff are really friendly now, and the beer garden is lovely. Great service, great food.
