This is another late Victorian gem that has retained almost all of its original features. All the usual attractive features are present, including carved dark wood and etched and cut glass. I’m not going to describe it in detail – either visit yourself or look at CMRA’s “The inside Story”. It’s a very large pub, subdivided up into several big rooms, including a lounge at the back that features a pool table and a dartboard. Indeed when I was in at lunchtime during the week, a couple of the bars had not been opened, as they were clearly not needed to satisfy demand. I’m sure it would be different on a match day.

They have not introduced any of those faddish high tables and stools that you see all over the place – only normal tables and chairs for this pub. Unfortunately they haven’t introduced any real ale either. I suppose that there’s little call for it in this part of the world. As a pub I really like it as it’s incredibly attractive from a historical point of view, but the absence of a decent ale is pretty much a fatal flaw in my book.

hard work to get served when the hammers are playing,and plastic glasses are horrible.

This is a PROPER pub, across the road is the REAL Theatre of Dreams, Lively and welcoming I'm from the north and an Iron to my bootstraps,love the Team and feel the same way about the people, never met with anything but courtesy here on the rare occasions i can get to a match.
Staff are wonderful and if it takes a while to get served get over it think about where you are and breathe it in.
I'm forever blowing..... oh well you get the idea.
See other comments regarding safety on a match day...whatever!!!

Shame about the beer does not do any, and the slow service a good 5 minute wait for some one to appear, but punters seemed ok and decor good.
