Decent old fashioned pub serving decent beer. Friendly place to visit, worth a visitif you're in Park Street

Wonderful little place, very much a locals pub given the location but they seemed a friendly bunch. Nice interior with comfortable seating, good décor and prints on the walls. A notice board shows evidence of the community nature of the pub. Three real ales, looks to be mainly GK but judging by the pump clips above the bar they go for some of the unusual ones, there was an excellent Ridleys Witchfinder Porter on when I visited. It’s not going to get a lot of passing trade but it’s only 5 minutes walk from the station.

A great village pub... average crowd 40ish, outside covered smoking area, good selection of beers, and the music isn't too loud... owner, staff, and crowd friendly... even to a wayward American that is new to the village. I like old planes... lots of pictures of them and of the village on the wall. Darts, too. Pub snacks available but not food.

Was on a pub crawl in this very strange village, walked past this pub once as a group of drunks were swaying outside the pub. However when did walk in it was a most enjoyable experience, everyone was willing to chat dont know if they were drunk or just nice people. But the beer was good and nice selection. would recommend this pub to anyone on a crawl and even to have a few pints. is smoking out the back and you can sit down which is good. Have a visit it will make you laugh of nothing else.

Rather unwelcoming. I went in to get out of the rain. After 20 minutes the rain was even heavier but I made my excuses and left. The Greene King IPA was in reasonable condition, but that's not difficult, is it?

I bought a very cheap car off the owner and it lasted for a year so thats not bad is it? Plus he threw in a pint of Stella. Locals seemed to be pretty much alcoholics to the point where you couldnt understand what they were saying, I just laughed and nodded my head...fastest pint of Stella I ever drank! 10 out of 10 for the experience though.

Average customer age of 102. Very smoky inside and would'nt fancy messing with the bargirl.Beer ok and will be pleasanter when the ban comes in.

The hard-as-nails locals seem to like it, but this is a fairly depressing pub. The best choice of beers in Park Street, but that's not saying much.

Always a warm welcome from the landlord and sarah.
Better than other pubs in the village because of the good atmosphere.
