The Flagship has been closed for some time and is now boarded up and for sale.

No real ale on draught, bur a reasonable choice of bottled beer. Not bad, but could do better.

Thanks for the comments ADB and poshbloke .... look forward to seeing you again soon.

Under the new management (Our visit - May 2007) this is a prime, and very rare now, traditional pub.
The warmth of the welcome given to 2 strangers, en-route to Holland with a boat to deliver, was stonking!
Real ale is REAL and perfect; the landlords entheusism and hospitality is boundless; food is excellent, and the clientel are sound enough and friendly.
If you struggle to remember what a real trad pub is like - try the Flagship. (unless you are in a hurry 'cos you'll never get out of the place!!!)
Thanks guv for a blinding nights hospitality.
Tony & Angus.

This is simply an excellent place to spend an evening.
It's the most hospitable place I've been in for as long as I can remember. Good beers, wine, food, bar snacks when you want them, music on the jukebox with every song you can think of and the service is the best ever.
We popped in there recently for one beer and couldn't leave, had such a good night we went back the next time we were in town and will always go there now we know it's there. Well worth it!
You HAVE to go there...

The Flagship has been taken over and is now under new management ... it is currently being refurbished and is open for business. The kitchen is not finished yet but will be, hopefully, by the end of March and then food will be served. Pop in Im sure you will see the improvements for yourself.

I used this pub years ago as a lunchtime stop off when i used to work in the area. Beer was not the best and according to a work collegue the stella tasted like urine, but as it was within walking distance from the office( only having an hour lunch) we went back a few times , and it never really got any better but it did have a pool table and seating outside. As we were always the only people in there of a lunch and when passing after work it was deserted , i was just wondering when i passed it in the car a few days ago how it was still open!! can somebody please tell me if this place has improved and what beers they sell?
