This pub is split into 2 bars on my first visit i used the the bigger saloon bar which seemed very clean there was a small stage and a roll up big screen and in 1 corner a tv set which seemed to be own by a small grey headed drunk who doubled as a bookmaker.As with most pub i the area there was the usual mix of those who decided to pop in on the way home and got captured ,charlie heads,and wide boys who looked at me as an outsider 2 pints and left. I returned the next week but this time used the public bar were i was made very welcome but the fellows enjoying a pint and a chat the only down side was the sing (awful as he was told at one point ) .
If you do venture in say hi to the public bar boys great bunch

on entering this skip of a pub i was served by the scary woman from scooby doo who found it impossible to remove the phone from her ear.As i looked around me i thought i,d walked onto the set of a low cost horror movie but things were to get worse. I needed to use the gents oh my god what a smell and stuff growing on the walls and pipework,a heard a commotion coming from the toilet cubicle and suddenly 5 men spilled out of the door i think the rumpus had been caused by an exploding talcum powder tin as they all had it around their noses. Wandering back to my pint i was aware that all the punters had decided that i was in their words old bill,a toothless buffoon and his oil covered tubby mate then decided to wrestle tubby stripped off.I stepped over the pair and made my escape i beg you not to go but if you do please post a review
