A lovely setting just by the Old Castle - so its a fine place to stop off if visiting the area or a local.
A visit the other day yielded some notable comments. First of all I was shocked at how empty the pub was, the two staff seemed rather bored.
The gentlemans room is a bit of a disgrace with no locks and a complete mess.
The beer is what is good about this pub. Only bad thing would be a pint of San Miguel costing �3.40 - admittedly it is a hopeless pale lager so its no great loss missing out on.
The Ascot ale and Ranmore ale are in fine working order and at �2 a pint it is excellent value.
Eating here is also a pleasant experience as we did the other day. The outside section is excellent for the summer weather but does on the downside attract smokers.
8/10

Glad Fullers have taken over this some time ago now. Still we have to put up with the rather disappointing Gales Ales. Seafarers and HSB seem to taste strange. At least there is a good old pint of Fullers London Pride.
On another note I ate here a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the heated up curry tremendously. If only the staff had been a little more cheerful it would have been great. Even so this is a decent pub situated by the graveyard. I shall give it a 7/10 for having a good Pride and good food.
The jukebox and regular live music and pub quiz also add to the entertainment of this pub.

Agree with slugbreff. Bit of a kids venue does not suit anyone over the age of 20... go elsewhere for a better atmosphere.... did not see much of drinks range but it seemed a little mediocre on first impressions.

Amazing choice of beer - I can't remember the exact prices, a little heavy but I don't think a pint or Pride was over 3 pounds. Good food too.

An enjoyable atmosphere and larger than it appears from the outside so easy enough to hide away in a corner and sample some of the offerings from Fullers.

Great pub with ever changing guest ales and welcoming to all ages.

There are better backstreet locals pubs. I'd recommend the Royal Oak, while the Robin Hood can also be worthwhile on a good night. This one is no good.

Good if you like Rugby. Not so good if you don't. If you like Thai food and i've eaten it here before, i'd suggest a Thai restaurant in town instead. Expensive and not the best atmosphere.

The price of drinks here does begger belief - even for a restaurant. 4.25 for a Hoegaarden. Recently ate out here - while the food was ok it was hardly home-cooked skillfully. Nice enough staff so I wish them good luck in the future, but I don't think I shall return.

I wish them good luck in the future but as others have said its much too expensive for a simple pint of real ale.
