A place where 50 somethings and twenty somethings mix and mingle. Some places have a cool vibe that crosses generational boundaries. The team behind the bar are as eclectic and friendly as those "on the other side"! Check it out.
We had a lot of fun going to this pub! They have a good selection of beers and they even have a decent selection of food. Nigel, the barkeep was a lot of fun! He tries to razz you on the way in and then he tells you a few jokes before he gives you delicious beer! We got to meet the most famous patrons of the bar. One was a black lab named Starla and the other was a wiener dog named Dottie. Both exceptional patrons. You would be remiss if you did not stop in for, at least a cold one. I would recommend to order some food, beverage and then settle in for a fun card game or some excellent conversation!! We will return to see Nigel and his wonderful staff again!!
Away-fan friendly pub close to the ground with a decent range of well kept cask ales and a whimsical landlord. Well worth a visit pre ⚽️.
Great when open and no students. Dog friendly, pool table, open fire. Bar staff generally funny although the Landlord appears to be beyond repair, otherwise great boozer
Lovely pub for a few quiet drinks and pool in the week. I look forward to the coming warm months where I expect to visit again to make use of 'the green'
