It's a great pleasure of mine to stumble, by chance, upon a pub you've heard good things about, and predictably I was unable to resist the lure of popping into the Artillery Arms for a quick visit. I found a pretty decent Fuller's house: well-appointed and traditional interior, six handpumps dispensing most of the Fuller's draught range (although no guests) and a lively clientele seemingly well-balanced between local residents and local office workers. All told, I very much liked it. My only criticism is of what I take from Larry's below review to be the "proprietor": I've never seen someone try so hard to avoid having to serve me in a pub - not sure what I'd done wrong, and eventually he did serve me, but I wasn't impressed. I knock it down a mark for that.

Good all round pub, but beware: this place turns seriously fruity around 10pm when the proprietor and his young side kicks come out to play...

Otherwise would have been an eight.

Very good pub. Floorboards, decent and rickety chairs, prime location, Fullers range and a square bar in the middle so it retains some level of compartmentalisation. I'm so impressed I've even made up a word for this review. See if you can guess which one it is... I had two pints of Explorer which hit the spot after a 15 minute walk on a broken ankle. Unobtrusive television at the front. Long may it remain unobtrusive but on for watching whilst ordering.

Top drawer; just a short walk from The Windmill, but in another universe. Efficiently run, excellent beer and great food.

As you would expect, they had the full range of Fuller’s ales on – but no guests (I had hoped they might have an Ossett’s ale or two on). This is an excellent, comfortable, honest pub with no pretensions or gastrification; I had a doorstep cheese and pickle sarny with chips (not fries). A real pub – highly recommended.
