Popular and buoyant back street local with two bars and two gardens (the largest is paved but heavily planted), offering TV sport and often, interesting rock and blues piped music. Sandwiches if requested at lunchtime. A folk club operates on the third Thursday of the month. Excellent heated smoking shelter. There`s always plenty going on and there are pub crib and darts teams. Quizzes fortnightly on Sundays. Enter the chili challenge held annually on a Saturday lunchtime in February. Open all day.
