A visiting fan also reported a mix of Swansea and Watford supporters inside watching a televised match, indicating a neutral, mixed crowd. With food served daily (meal times listed), it’s a practical stop to catch the early kick-off, grab a bite, and head on to the stadium.

This is a great pub would really recommend coming here. The atmosphere is really friendly and inviting supported by the amazing bar staff that go above and beyond such as Evie who served me on my last visit. They have a wide selection of drinks so you’ll always find something you’ll like, aswell as free darts and a pool table!
This pub is great! I've been here several times and always had the best time. Wonderful selection of drinks, good food, pool table, darts and a great beer garden. Most important the staff make this place what it is. Special shout to Tommy and his selection of crazy shirts. Come say hello and tell Tommy I sent you ❤️
Perfect spot to catch the football. The beer was ice-cold, the atmosphere was spot on, and there was absolutely no fuss. The staff are friendly and keep things moving even when it's busy. If you're looking for a solid place to watch the game with a proper pint, this is it.
We stumbled across The Escourt Tavern on way back from my wonderful sister in laws birthday outing. We thought it was going to be a short last of the night kind of drink, but ended up staying late into the evening because of the excellent service we received from the bar staff. Evie in particular was as so lovely and friendly, she turned the music up when we were singing along and made sure our drinks were always topped up . An excellent find and will definitely be returning.
My family and friends went here for my 18 birthday (29th jan) and were helped by tom and kelly. They helped set up our reversed place and cleaned up as well as serving drinks and food to all the people who came to the celebration! Highly recommend :)
