Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the range of Black Sheep ales on draught, with the pub described as the flagship bar for that brewery, alongside cask ales, ciders and a couple of guest beers. One visitor made a special trip for the flat ciders and counted 11 on, and another praised how well kept the beer was. Close behind is the live music: an open-mic night, a folk night and Friday musicians drew an appreciative crowd, and one reviewer called the atmosphere brilliant once the music started. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and knowledgeable about the beer, including a chatty barman, though one reviewer found the two staff on a folk night uneven, with one better than the other. The same reviewer said arriving early for the folk night was a good idea. A few mention the location by the Minster, and one describes a quiet Sunday pint with a well looked after drop that turned out to be an off-the-cuff decision they were glad they made.

“We were wandering past on Friday night ... and we heard the fabulous live music - so we turned around and headed in. We spent a lovely couple of hours - with friendly staff and a really good choice of cask ales and ciders. Would highly recommend a visit!”
