It's The Rovers Return on acid.

May not be for the fainthearted as it's very much a local's local, and by 'eck, they are characters. All very chatty and friendly, so if you go to a pub to sit quietly on your own, forget it. Open fire and a darts board, only two ales though (Shep Master Brew & Best). Definitely worth the experience.

Just up the road from Squeeze Gut Alley is the Smack.... a fine beginning to a folk song sung by retired Geography teachers who like folk but are fascinated by mass movement...

I like The Smack. Yes it has a couple of dogs in there but they are friendly and I am not a fan of dogs at all but these two were fine although I think they thought I was their butler.
Quirky but fascinating interior. Great jukebox, friendly service, good beer and a very good beer garden.

Well worth repeated visits. Charming and memorable. A rare 9/10.

Enjoyed a random visit to this recently very much.

Yes: there were a couple of (well behaved) dogs knocking around; and there is a slight whiff of dogginess on first entering. Admittedly, it's not my preferred aroma - but undetectable after 5 minutes and/ or the first Kent's Best.

Interesting, slightly eccentric interior with friendly staff and eclectic clientele. Only beer sampled was Kent's Best; which was very good.

I'd favour this, just, over the well-regarded Ship Centurion Arminius in the High Street; but would endeavour to vist both - finishing here.

I went to this pub a few times last year. Its round the back of the High Street, out of the way but the beer is always good. I have had most of the Sheps but not the Mild. Yet ! Yes, there are cats and dogs but as I like both it didn't put me off.
Nice open fire and played darts too. Has live music.
Overall not too bad at all.
