Service is nearly always prompt. The beer (real ale) is OK but prices a little bit on the high side. Always busy at weekend and mostly friendly and I've never heard of any trouble taking place.

The new folks running this place have started well, a definite improvement on previous visits. The Sleighbell wasn't to my taste (I'm still trying to find an Everards beer that I like) but the ever reliable Bombadier was well kept. The place got slightly mobbed out by Gooners watching AFC on the box but, all in all, a nice friendly, atmosphere. Will be back.

Large spacious bar on entering and four ales on. Tried the Wadworth's Farmers Glory which was a good pint. They have a kind of garden shed-cum-conservatory where the pool table lives and then an excellent covered smoking area with telly and dartboard beyond that followed by a large-ish garden. Definitely a top rating for smokers and the ale was pretty decent as well. Best beer in this part of town (yep - even though the Carpenters is over the road).

Quite a large single-bar pub, with a big covered area out back for the smokers plus a substantial (if sparsely equiped) beer garden and a couple of benches at the front. The large Sky Sports banners out front didn't bode too well for real ale, but I was pleased to find four handpumps offering a selection of Directors, Clark's Westgate Gold (£3.25) and a couple of other guest beers. And yes, there are loads of screens (both large and small) showing several channels of non-stop sport.
