I strongly agree with the comments made by nokegthanks. I came in here one evening and was stood at the bar for the best part of what seemed to be 20 minutes unserved. Then a regular came up and the bar lady served him 1st! He quite rightly pointed out that I was first to be served. It is a clique mentality in this over priced excuse for a real ale pub.

A customer service course is highly recommended.

My advice is to walk 5 minutes down the road to the Blue Boar. 4 Handpumps all with the local sign and 2 real ciders at just £2.20 a pint.

Avoid

A terribly ordinary and therefore extremely boring establishment, in fact so dull your humble narrator dozed peacefully for half an hour before catching his bus home.

Ales were mostly of the pale variety, i opted for a half of Tiger from Everards and was charged £1-45, OUCH!

Steer clear!!

This is the only place where you can drink greenalls bitter and be pleasantly surprised at how well it can taste if kept well by the bar staff! I'm not a regular but occasionally call in if I miss my bus for a quick half. The food menu always looks enticing but upto now haven't sampled any.

Beer in here is rediculously expensive. My grand parents used to love this place for codgers meals on a Friday dinner time, now I know where my inheritance went!
