A regular in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide, this is a welcoming, one-bar, back-street local featuring beers from Punch Taverns, three free of tie, mostly from microbreweries. It also brews occasional beers of varying styles on the premises. Good-value, home-cooked food is served lunchtimes and Monday to Saturday evenings with roasts on Sundays. Quiz night is Wednesday. There is a public car park opposite and a heated, covered smoking area outside. Barbecues are held in the summer with occasional beer festivals.
