My mother in law lives locally & I have found this to be a decent pub.
Unfortunately, I have today read in a local free newspaper that it is going to be knocked down to make way for some flats.
Shame if this is true.

The pub is to be honest a bit rough around the edges cosmetically & the gents is poor. That said, it is a proper community boozer with locals & barstaff who are happy to have a natter & is the sort of pub that should be encouraged to grow & not just criticised.
Room for improvement but with a little effort will, I hope, flourish

Well kept ales, lagers etc. Friendly locals. Attentive & chatty bar staff. Cracking Sunday roast. Lovely beer garden. Familes welcome.
Only problem is...I live too far away to walk.
Well recommended.

I have lived in this area for over 7 years & rarely used this pub. It always struck me as a little cliquey. Maybe that was just me as I have started frequenting it a little more lately & find the locals friendly & Russ The Landlord to be a very accomodating host. The Guinness is very well kept as are all the other lagers, ciders & bitters. Children are most welcome with parental supervision & there is a beer garden out the back & parking for about 10 cars outside with plenty of parking on the road. They have several TV's so sport is well catered for. Sunday night there is usually a bit of a song & dance going on which is all good natured stuff.
Well recommended.
