Unfortunately due to time I could only stay for the one. Will definitely visit this place again!
One word of caution though. It gets very busy! On my visit I it was still early in the evening and there were people all over the pavement. (Not in an overly inebriated way!)
Was very busy when we were there but the bar staff were still managing to serve everyone quickly with little waiting. Very nice place.

However, why is the profile relating to any comment worth reading in its own right nearly always deleted?
You'd not have thought that the Plymouth Brethren would run a pub site, would you?
However, its busy trade seems to have taken its toll on the furnishings, and it is beginning to resemble a students union bar perhaps.
Some investment is needed. It's looking a bit too lived-in these days.
A couple of session-strength beers would also encourage customers to stay longer and have more than just a couple, as sensible folk do with the strong stuff.
