A very small flat-iron shaped corner pub. Some of the dirtiest seating that I have ever seen – it would take the George, in d’Arblay St to beat them, unless that pub has had a refurb since last time I was there. Had some real ale on (Adnam’s I think), but nothing out of the ordinary as I recall. Interestingly large windows, split into lots of smaller panes. I actually quite liked this pub in spite of its shortcomings.

Average kind of place really. Does what it says on the tin. Wouldn't make an effort to go again.

Decent enough pub serving a decent enough pint of Adnams (spoiled only by two of us getting beers in propoer Adnams glasses and the other in a Carling recepticle).

Visitied the other night the Adnams explorer was superb, a great little pub with a quiet feel about it.

A funny old place, beer ok but can be less than welcoming.

Was in there today at lunchtime and made what was in hindsight the fatal error of telling someone where the nearest cashpoint was located. Was then berated by one of the 'locals,' (slightly dishevelled man in bad fitting suit smelling of last nights ale,) for helping someone out. Apparently being nice to someone,(particularly if they are not local,) is just not the done thing.
