Alma

The low-ceilinged interior has remnants of former walls and some columns but is basically open-plan with bare boards and carpeted floors and wood-panelled wainscotting below cream walls. Sport is important here, especially rugby, and major events are shown on the three big screens. Benches out front and a tiny rear patio. Excellent, home cooked pub grub with the pies being a particular attraction. Ruby Tuesday offers a choice of six curries for £5 when bought with a drink. Quiz on Thursday. Open-mic "Songsmith Sessions" on Sunday evenings. Full advantage is taken of Greene King's guest beer scheme both for regular and changing real ales. Weston's Old Rosie cider is also available.
