Not a bad place to have as a local, although you wouldn't go out of your way to travel there. It's tiny for a start, so there are only a few tables. The staff have always been friendly when I've been in, and I like the fact that they allow dogs inside too - always the sign of a decent boozer. Have only drunk Guiness there so can't vouch for the quality of the bitter.

The one thing I have found slightly random about this place is that amongst all the bric-a-brac on the walls, there are at least two gollywogs! And you don't see many of those in this age of political correctness!

"don't go there too often as it can get a bit samey" - haha, it's incisive comments like these that keep me coming back to this site :-)

I agree about the slightly off beer ... the one I had while an unusual ale was not at its best. A straightforward pub though with its 'unique' decor and not too far from the river.

It's an interesting and different pub but watch out. I had a pint that was slightly cloudy and just past its best so I took it back. The barman referred me to the other guy behind the bar who I suppose was in charge. He asked me "did you order it?". "Yes" I said. "Well then you can't complain". I thought this kind of attitude had disappeared long ago. I told the guy upstairs in the restaurant and he went and got me another, but of course it was the same cloudy appley beer.

On the night we went the restaurant was doing 50% off the food. But they charged the 12.5% service charge on the full price of the meal, i.e. a service charge of 25%. Shame because the service was good. And so was the live music.

I rather like this pub. It’s very small, consisting of a single room with only five tables. Parquet wood floor, miscellaneous old photographs and assorted bric-a-brac around the walls made this seem a very welcoming pub. In some ways the unpretentiousness of this pub reminded me of the Wenlock – which is a compliment.

Four or five real ales on including three Downton Brewery ales. I had the Slater’s Top Totty which was excellent. Pub grub was fairly straightforward – the cheese baguette I had was OK. This pub really is an oasis in an otherwise uninspiring area. Highly recommended.
