The Hand and Racquet
Previously known as Hogheads, this pub has undergone a few management changes it seems. Changes have been positive.
Decor is good (there's a lovely sunlight in the one section, and leather lounge suites to lounge about on) and there is a non smoking section - yippee yay!
To find that in a pub is a joy. Couches were comfy, and ambiance was good.
Service is personal and friendly, but not overdone.
We have watched a rugby game here, and it was thoroughly enjoyable.
The food we did have was nice (we only had handcut hot chips), and the beer was COLD and good.
