  • Historic Interior

Locals' pub that's always busy. Three small seating areas with two clustered around the bar and one to the side more like a private room with a friendly atmosphere enhanced by careful use of lighting. The side bar leads into a larger back room with picnic tables, pool table and a Thai kitchen at rear. Food serving times are not known to us - website gives no details.

When you step out into the back you enter what at first seems like a small, ground floor walled garden but this quickly opens up to a series of higher level decking linked by stairs which probably doubles the overall area of the pub. Smoking permitted outside. It is hard to do justice in words so go to the pub's website which offers a virtual tour.

The flowers are truly a tour de force both at the front of the pub and in the garden. in keeping with its name TV screens show football and rugby. The handpumps in the back bar are quite old but only those in the front seem to be used. Retains some old Courage insignia on the exterior.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A prominent triangular-shaped pub with two bars of some interest. That on the corner, once no doubt compartmentalised (n.b. three front doors), has a striking Victorian bar back with a glazed inscription recalling a former owner and/or licensee: WHOLESALE F.J.HOBSON RETAIL FINE & SPIRIT STORES. The left-hand part now looks rather stranded since the counter has been cut back to create access to a bar behind. The second room to look out for has a Victorian quadrant-shaped servery with a particularly fine L-shaped bar back and some fancy columns: the counter has relics of doors, once used to access the beer engines for servicing. Enjoy these historic features and try to ignore the unbelievable amount of other clutter at this popular music venue.
