Hand pumpBlack Sheep, Hand pumpBombardier, Hand pumpguest, John Smith's, Tetley / Stella A rather nice pub, bigger inside than the outside suggests, with an L-shaped bar, a lounge with comfy armchairs, and a side room, all nicely decorated. And there's a pleasant beer garden, formerly the bowling green, at the back. LSTV. Consistently good quality real ales for some years now.   QuizDay2

Hand pumpguests, Hand pumpLandlord, John Smith's / 1664, Foster's A large one bar pub, partly knocked through with some low walls remaining and nicely decorated in traditional style. On my visits I have enjoyed pints of Phoenix Arizona, and Timothy Taylor's Landlord. The food, served in a restaurant area, is recommended.
In 2009 I received a report that real ale was of poor quality or no longer available, but in 2010 I'm told a new tenant has improved things again.

Hand pumpguest, Marstons / Carling, Carlsberg In 2004 I noted a plain bar and a nicely decorated lounge with a side room, all looking a little tatty in places.
In 2005 I found the place had been totally re-modelled into one L shaped room, very nicely decorated. Sadly the handpumps on the small bar counter were not in use.
In 2006 one hand pump provided a disgusting pint of vinegar, claiming to be Pedigree.
In 2007 the hand pumps had increased to three but we still got off beer. The interior remained pleasant and well cared for.
Closed in May 2008, but I'm told it had re-opened by December.
