Ember Inns pub and far from being bland.
10 hand pulls split 5/5 at each end of the bar.
Price vary from £2.58 to £3.19 a pint.
I had a pint of the Doom Bar for £2.58 and very nice it was too.
Notice says "All real ale £2.49 on a Monday"

I would agree with previous posters that the bar area is poorly laid out. This means that the wait to be served can be quite lengthy even when the pub is only moderately busy. I was there several evenings in October 2009 and they had a very well-organised quiz night (fun but over rather quickly) I think the quizzes are held every Wednesday. I did notice they have a curry night on another evening. Seemed to attract a more well-heeled crowd and mercifully devoid of the beer monsters. Outdoor seating area is right next to the car-park so hardly inspiring. But good solid pub.

I've been here a few times now but never find myself staying for anymore than a couple of drinks. Its a nice Ember Inns pub with a good choice of ale, with Brew XI as one of the house ales. The beer is well kept too so no complaints on the drink front. We ordered food on our last visit about 15 minutes before the kitchen closed which made me think it would come out in a rather dire state but to my pleasent supprise it came out hot and well prepared. The staff were also very friendly, I think the only real problem here, as mentioned below, is the way the bar is laid out. It does have a negative effect on service, I cant really explain why but i does. Otherwise this a really nice place to start a tour of Suttons establishments as its at the top end of the town.

This pub suffers from a poorly laid out bar serving area which involves staff having to negotiate steps to get from one end of the bar to the other. This results in it being difficult to get served when even only moderately busy. Rather drink in the Cup!

OK pub but the current rating of 9.0 is way too high. Decent beer, not a great choice, standard Brakes food - that's all.

I think this is now known as the Horse & Jockey?
It's a nice pub with good food and a decent decor.
