When you first walk in to this pub it has the atmosphere of many a typical local. It is carpeted and the radio is playing quietly in the background. We wondered in there just before mid day and not surprisingly at that time it was quiet. If you like your real ale however this pub is well worth a visit. It has a micro brewery attached which brews a wide range of beers including hoppy light coloured ales and strong robust stouts. At £1.99 this represents great value for money. The food comprises a range of British favourites, sausage and mash, steak, mixed grill, burgers, cottage pie etc. The quality of the mixed grill I had was very acceptable though I probably wouldn’t visit this pub just for the food though the most expensive dishes, the mixed grill and the steak cost £7 and dishes such as 3 Cumberland sausages and mash cost £4.99 which is very reasonable. With all the beers costing £1.99 however it is this along with the unusual ingredients used in many of the beers which really makes this pub stand out.

I found the staff and the locals in this pub to be very friendly and I am definitely looking forward to returning to it in the near future. I give this pub 8 out of 10 and highly recommend it.
