GK but not bad. Tonight they have IPA, Old Hookey and Westgate Flankers Tackle (probably another GK) beer. Ornate, old fashioned, dark wood panelled pub. Considering I work so close a reasonable find.

A large L-shaped space, the bar on the back wall of the main area has an attractive tiled floor splash area, mostly wooden floors elsewhere but carpeted in the rather elegant area to the side which has dark wood panelling, etched mirrors and a few framed prints. The bar back has more etched glass. Comfortable seating with upholstered banquettes, a couple of leather covered benches plus a mix of traditional chairs and stools.
TVs at each end, both muted, showing a choice of Sky News or Sky Sports News. Some sort of latino sounds playing.
Its a GK pub company place so has IPA and Abbot, OSH was off but also on were Everards Tiger and Brewsters Decadence (4.4%) a pleasant light hoppy beer.
I'm not a fan of GK but it is rather pleasing to see an increase in the availability of choice in their pubs recently, and I quite liked it in here.

I meet friends here about evey 10 - 12 weeks to catch up and so far it hasn't let me down. Good choice of ales for the beer drinkers, decent lager apparently too and some reasonable wines. Nibbles aren't bad either!

used to enjoy a beer or 2 in here when mark was the publican. all the barmaids ( except Simon) were well fit and the beer was well kept. I could easily spend an afternoon in there watching sports and viewing Kerry's Boobs... such a shame its changed

This is a reasonable pub, but it does nothing to stand out from its peers. There are a couple of small TVs that were showing the Sky Sports News feed, but on enquiry I discovered that they do not have Sky Sports. The staff were polite enough, but the pub was pretty empty for a Friday evening.

Greene King IPA, Abbot and Rockin Rudolph were available. The barmen gave us a sample of the Rudolph and I wasn’t very impressed (that could just be my taste buds though). Peroni and some bog standard lager are also available.

This is an OK pub, but not worth going out of your way for.
