A good sized pub on a corner plot at the top of The Mall in the heart of Clifton village. The main upper bar has very large windows giving good views of the street outside and the green opposite. At the left hand end it opens out in to a room with a very high, ornate ceiling and this, together with the dual aspect windows (covered in floor to ceiling red velvet drapes) give it a very open, airy feel.

Down at the other end of the long bar is a staircase leading down to a lower bar. This has much lower ceilings and less in the way of notable features, and can appear a little gloomy, although it’s a good size and can get very busy on a weekend. As beatles38 has mentioned, there is also a courtyard garden.

There is a good selection of wines chalked up on a board, and the beers on offer were Lancaster Red, Doom Bar and Tribute. Good choice of ciders with Aspall’s Suffolk, Hogan’s (that’s a new one on me), Addlestones and Weston’s Organic straight from the barrel.

This is a lovely pub in a great location with very good beer and food. I am surprised by the low overall rating, but suspect that there might be two reasons for that. First, you really want to be sitting near the entrance, in the original part of the pub; 80 per cent of the pub is an extension that is gloomy and soulless. When I pop in, I look for a seat near the window and if there isn't one, I go elsewhere.

Second, the clientele are posh students with loud plummy voices and their collars turned up. I can see how some would find that annoying, but at lunchtime they're not too overbearing, and if, like me, you have a weakness for posh young women, you can easily blot out the insufferable rugger types.

Horrible "spoilt toffee nosed student" clientele when visited all paying by card for a couple of drinx,but on the other hand its a really lovely pub/bar with loads of places to sit drink n relax, and the caledonian raspberry fool was totally divine when i visited on st pat's day, 8/10
