the place is ok full of older people drinking beer. not much of an atmosphere. id prob enjoy this pub on a mid week afternnoon with my parents for lunch. not for beer in the evening.

completely agree with "outtamehead", have known pub for many years and used on odd occasion, not so appealing from the road, but the place is well designed and obviously fairly recently redecorated. two beers on draught as stated before. the butcombe was in perfect condition and served by a very friendly young girl. pub was relatively well supported fro early evening drinkers while the car park was empty so serving its local clientele well i guess. didnt stop for food but on the basis christmas day is already fully booked at �45ph i am guessing its not bad. will use again, shame they cant invest in kerb appeal

Popped in here a couple of times recently when visiting friends in the area.
The pub is better inside than I expected from the road. As much of a restaurant as a pub. Two real ales on, Doombar and Butcombe. Friendly staff who poured samples for us before we made our purchases.
The food was good and judging by the number of other people eating it's a popular place to go for a meal.
Sky tv with subtitles and no sound up on the wall.

One of the smokiest places I have ever been in, however the Tuesday quiz keeps drawing me back.

Although not my first choice of pub in the area worth a summer visit.

Defines the word "average" to a tee !

Great place to sit outside and enjoy the summer sun, smoke a fat cigar and sup on a nicely chilled pint of lager.
