This pub is handily located opposite the railway station and on bus routes into the city. With rolling live updates of train departures showing inside this makes a welcoming retreat for those waiting for a train or needing to while away an hour or two due to unexpected delays.

It's a popular pub that can get busy at weekends with a number of TVs showing sports events and is also a rare city centre pub for darts enthusiasts. To the rear is an outdoor decked smoking area and a car park (only available on Sunday and in the evenings).

Seven hand pumps offer a good range of beers in the area, with local microbreweries usually represented. Real ale carry-outs are regularly available, as are third-of-a-pint taster paddles.
