A run down pub for day drinkers
This is a shabby pub, in need of refurbishment and updating. The pub was quiet with retired male drinkers. It still smelt of smoke despite the ban!!! I think this may be because it is ingrained in the walls and ceiling as these badly need cleaning and a lick of paint would not go a miss. They do a small selction of bar food-but could not wait to get out of there and would not dream of eating there, judging by the overall hygiene and decor of the place. The pub seemed to be used by a handful of daytine hardened drinkers, who all knew each other and sat around the bar area drinking-it is really not for anyone who is not over 60 and does not want to sit with people who probably have been drinking from when it opened.
