Popular lunch time pub with a vast selection of cask beers many of which are new to me. Certainly deserves its entry in the Good Beer Guide.
Great range of local beers available in the Camra awarded pub. Excellent restoration to old style public house.
Good pub with nice selection of beers, however is not well accommodated for female pub goers. Unfortunately the only ladies toilet is shared with the only disabled toilet so is accessed by those who simply do not want to walk up stairs to use the men’s. (This was observed many times during our visit.) The only female toilet doesn’t have a sanitary bin, but has a pedal bin on the other side of the room. Slightly inconvenient for those who require it, and not very hygienic. A shame for such a quaint pub. Maybe they forget that females drink beer too.
What a pub, great selection of ales. In fact too many for the short time we had so I drank halves to try as many as possible. All well kept and most were completely new to me.
This is a beer enthusiast pub. Lots of choices. Great atmosphere, very busy . We didn't eat. Traditional feel but with a bar atmosphere. Will come back to sample more . Mens toilet is upstairs and so is additional seating, there is a disabled toilet downstairs.
