after secretarys comments i just wanted to suggest that you go in there on a saturday night when they have different live music every week and the pub is packed!!

The real ale so often seems to be tired & old, and there never seems to be anyone in there unless there is a darts match. The worst thing is the continual stream of 40 year old music.

Large fronted corner pub that doesn’t look too attractive, but I spotted a couple of hand pumps so ventured inside. They has Spitfire and Landlord on and I ordered the latter, at which point the real Landlord jumped in saying it was near the end of the barrel and offering me a taste first to make sure it was OK. I was quite impressed with that, I rarely get that sort of consideration in a pub where I am a regular let alone one where it’s my first visit. As it turned out the beer was fine, and judging by the CAMRA newsletters available it usually is. This is more of a pub for a quiet lunchtime reading a newspaper or working out a 20p yankee than for a special night out but it has a nice local feel to it which you don’t see too often these days.

Maybe I'm biased because I was born a few doors down 50 years ago but I got a friendly welcome without the neighbours routine. Good service too.

Pleasant on Saturday 12 April at night, with Hadas Trainin (from Team Productions) on stage. Good and friendly atmosphere. I'll be back!
