Seems to trade a bit on its historical connections. I had a couple of pints of so-so Holts bitter, although one of my friends was raving about the Thatchers cider (while sensibly limiting herself to a couple of halves). A bit expensive compared to other pubs in town.

Behind the quaint frontage lies a filthy shit hole. The customers look like they would be more at home in a soup kitchen and I would not be at all suprised to find out it serves meths on draught.
Don't go in here with a full set of teeth and deviod of tattoos or you will get beaten up for being homosexual, probably.

I've been supping in here for 9 years now. The holts bitter is best left alone as it doesn't travel well! Thatchers cider is excellent if you want a night totally intoxicated. The recent inclusion of Broadoak perry on draught is a welcome newby. Trouble is it goes down too well and is actually stronger than thatchers cider! Friday and Saturday nights can be great if you get a decent live band on.
