A small, attractive, gable ended Hydes tied-house accessed down a corridor via a rear courtyard / smoking area. Narrow with wooden floors and interesting prints. Music and TV sport dominate though the front pool room offers some escape. Alas real ale - availability was always hit and miss - seems to have died a death !
