I wasn’t really expecting anything just because it happens to be a gay bar, and that’s not how I judge pubs even when I notice it. As I said I went in because it’s a pub I remembered from many years ago. If I were to comment on the gay thing I’d say that it is quite obviously gay (even without many customers) but they seemed not to be to precious about the tag and I imagine they are welcoming to all.

I was doing a few pubs in the area and sought this one out as I remembered a pub of the same name from the 80’s when I worked nearby for a couple of weeks. From the location I’m sure it’s the same one but it’s no longer a proper pub, more a pub trying to be a bar as so many do these days. Jennings Cumberland Ale was the cask offering on my visit. I went late afternoon and there were more staff than customers, no doubt they were waiting for the evening trade.
