On my recent visit [3rd March 2016] this pub had 4 ales on; two regular ales Theakstons Black Sheep & Greene King IPA, it also had Okell's cask bitter which was quite nice and B. B. Clarke's Crystal Gold from its Merrie City range. I had a few pints of that and it is a cracking beer, i hope they get it in again.

This is now a very good pub.Only a very few are grummpy regulars, ie, Capt Pugwash, The little Cherub, and Pain in the Butt. In most cases pensioners sitting rooms are quite comfy. I find it very frienly NOT clanish.Landlady and staff friendly and down to earth.

This pub has had a chequered history recently. The previous landlord gave up and alowed his family to run it whilst he and his wife went to Nth wales - every weekend. The pub wa on the brink of closure. It is now under new management. Ann and her daughter Jane are retturning the pub to its village status. Gone are the TV screens that were on constantly under the old management blaring out mindless pop videos. That was never the pubs image and now it is booming an excellant choice of ales and friendly management and customers.

I agree with most of the previous comments. Seats in the bar are passed down from father to son and seats at the tables from mother to daughter.
Don't make the mistake of sitting down anywhere as you will surely be sitting in somebody's chair and will be stared at until you leave. Disaster of a pub. Only redeeming feature was a reasonable choice of ale.

Once went in this place,when I lived across the road.Have'nt been back since.Must give it a try,a pub like this deserves to be a cracker.Must say that it was unfriendly.

It might have cask ale but it was largely undrinkable on my recent visit. A scary women's darts match was taking place and purchase of raffle tickets unavoidable. Friendly boss. Peculiar decor - like a pensioner's sitting room. Could be much better.

COULD BE A GOOD PUB IF THE LANDLORD GOT RID OF SOME OF THE OLD REGULARS WHO CROWD AROUND THE SMALL BAR AND WON'T MOVE FOR THOSE OF US WHO WANT TO BE SERVED. ALWAYS HAD A REPUTATION AS A CLIQUEY PUB AND THE LAST TIME I WAS IN, NOTHING HAD CHANGED!!
