Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the beer selection, especially the real ales, and one notes the list of ales due over the next four weeks. Others single out lager at cheap prices and friendly bar staff who know the regulars. Sport on the televisions suits a group chatting over beers, though one reviewer says it is not the place to take a lady for a night out.

“Good place for a group of blokes to have a chat and a few beers. Sport on the tvs and a very good selection of beers and larger at excellent prices ie cheap compared to most pubs. Staff good and know their locals/regulars. Would go again but not the type of place to take a lady for a night out.”
