Sam Smith's pubs, so my usual comment about the quality of beer stands: this is, as Strongers observes, yet another of their pubs with no draught real ale, which is poor. I'm normally pretty taken with the interiors of Sam Smiths pubs, but didn't like this one: whilst unspoilt I found it gloomy and looking a little unloved. I wouldn't return here, and think 6.9 average is on the high side.

As you enter this pub you come to the main bar area which was being managed by a very nice barman. The usual Sam Smiths selection is available and like so many SS pubs there is no hand pump for the OBB. At the rear of the pub there is a smaller room with a dartboard which was being enjoyed by a group of lads which gave this pub a bit of a vibe, which I find unusual for SS. There is a lounge bar upstairs, but as my visit was before 18:00 I was unable to investigate as it was closed.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.

Okay pub

The photo of this pub doesn't really do it justice - it looks a little tired but once you get inside you encounter a perfectly preserved interior and various nooks and crannies hidden away. Its a wonder how some of these pubs survive but very heartening. As mentioned, no cask ale is a drawback.

Good pub, Pint of Alpine Lager is only £2.10 and has a nice feel to the place.

Sometimes there's a DS meetup or something like that where about 10-15 people play on the DS, good crowd makes the place look less like a old man's pub.
