Nicely furnished pub, beer garden is lovely with the flowerpots being obviously very well looked after. Enjoyed a nice game of pool. Brakspear Bitter was the only ale on and was in good condition. Decent clientèle.

Caledonian 80/-, Black Sheep Bitter and Ringwood Best. Beer quality wasn't up to much. OK pub and the pints were changed without a quibble.

Modern style interior in an old building just south of the town centre. The main bar is finished in cream with a red carpet and red upholstered pew style benches with some short stools clustering round the few tables. Largely seating at one end by a nasty brick fireplace, with a middle area housing a big screen separated by a balustrade sitting on a low partion wall. Beyond that is a pool table, darts board and another screen. Plenty of drinking space around the bar for those who prefer to stand or block the bar. Four handpulls sitting at the end of the bar with Brakspears Bitter and Caledonian Golden Promise being served, the Brakspears was in fine condition when I tried it. The only other punters were some east European lads playing pool and a middle aged business type.

Looks like a couple of extra handpumps have been added - 4 ales now. Perhaps not the most imaginative selection you'll see but I guess they're choosing from a fairly restricted list. Quality is usually fairly good. A fair bet for a decent beer and the footy.

Popped into this pub the other week and really enjoyed my visit. Had a few games of pool and the larger was good so will visit again in the future!
