Deservedly popular local 2nd September 2008

A few years ago this was a grotty old men's pub, albeit with rather nice green tiled exterior - the sort of pub that closes by the dozen every month.
Now, with a judicious overhaul, it's been transformed into a buzzing and trendy young hangout, featuring loads of music, djs, decently priced grub, and is always buzy.

This pub deserves to be popular because of the way the original features have been preserved and enhanced. Yes it's good wooden floors and comfy leather seats (everyone likes these). But it has bags of character - check out the stained glass in the women's loos, and joy of joys, a real fire.
This is a pub to enjoy a quiet pint in by day, and have a fun time out at night.

Probably the most friendly pub in the area, it has its fair share of regulars but you're always made to feel welcome. The open fireplace is lovely in the winter just as the aircon is great in the summer. Reasonably priced, good food and great music on most weekends. Recommended.
