New licensee has ben there for a while and the whole pub has been re-vamped.
It is now brightly decorated in a contemporary theme, with only one small inconspicuous TV screen - a far cry from the football-orientated previous regime. 3 or 4 hand-pumped reals ales are on, from the S & N stable. The food operation operates from 11.00 til 9.00, serving an imaginative menu of fresh home-cooked food at extremely reasonable prices. Sunday roasts are currently 2 for �7.95. Live music features monthly on Saturday nights, and Sunday Lunch is sometimes accompanied by a Jazz Band 4.00 til 7.00 - ring for details.

rarely go in this one, bit of a walk from the white hart and all the times i have made it my gf always asks why we made it in the first place? i haven't been in for a year or so, so i'll see if im dissapointed again soon.

It may be a little untidy compared to the Bull across the way but much more down to earth and friendly. Decent well kept bitters on offer without any fuss made about them.

What a shame that this pub has been slagged off so badly, i go in there to watch city and it is most certainly not a man utd pub. I go on my own sometimes when my hubby is working and i always feel comfortable.
I dont think the reports above are a fair assesment at all. I'm sure they got some award for best kept beer.I have never heard a bad word untill i found this site.

A bit of a scally pub in the past. Especially when the football is on. Very much a Man U pub too, so I wouldn't advise going in for the derby if you're a blue, however it does have one of those satellite boxes that gets all the foreign channels, so you will usually find that the matches that aren't on anywhere else, are on here. The quality of the draught beer is not great either. It's not that bad, just a bit chavtastic!

First visit to this pub also the last. Very poorly stocked bar, one guest ale that wasnt bad. Pub was very dusty and the glasses we were served our drinks in were filthy. Appeared dear for the two drinks we bought, when the big screen was pulled down we were sat in the dark as every blind was pulled down. Very poor scores no points.
