Lovely lady behind the bar super friendly and a lovely pub dog who wanders around, the pool table is okay but you can't get to all shots due to space and the top rail is lose on one end. I also found the drinks a little on the expensive side too.

Absolutely love this place. First time and met some great people. There really aren't many places that still have this old skool character. I miss that and will defo will be going back to Beat Mr Brown, the legendary local champion of pool 🎱 🤣🤣🤣

Friendly local pub. Staff are all polite and happy, and the place is dog friendly.

Just don't bother unless you've been coming for the last 15 years, you will not be welcome. There's a dog, literally the only thing going for it.

This is a pub of the older type. At first the local folks that go there will happily serve you a drink and will let you choose cash or card or most payments you like. The pub gives you options as to how to sign in. However, this pub is not recommended.The pub does have an early digital style duke box inside it. You can play whatever song you like. If you are into Pool there is a pool table. If you play darts there is a darts board. You can even watch sports on the TV. The pub although I have not even drank a single pint of beer or larger or ale there. The pub does have some great selections of beer, ale or larger to choose from.However, there is a draw back, although you can get to know the staff there and they are friendly initially the problem is that they will turn on you and become really unkind, unfriendly and disrespectful and intolerant of others.The landlady there is called Shona who is cooperative, friendly, and genuinely cares about her customers because she wants to keep the pub going. However, the bar staff that work there, are most now but not when I first went there rude, aggressive, do not like you turning on or off the duke box because someone else is has put a song on that other people do not want to listen to.If someone does turn off the duke box you as someone who listens to the duke box will become the target to blame. Therefore unless you want to go to this pub to watch football or sports I highly recommend another pub. This pub is not recommended and as another person has already stated it is Unfriendly and Awkward. I personally was told to shut my mouth by al least two of the staff there so I would not recommend this pub at all.

My local. Great pub. Good food and friendly staff. A Breakspears pub. For those interested has at least two real ales on at any one time and has won awards for keeping and serving beers. I can't vouch for though because I drink Guinness! Still highly recommended. A proper pub!

Unfriendly bar staff, let down by unfriendly regulars which make it a terrible pub to go to for a one off food or drink. Be prepared to get stared at by the regulars if you go near their precious pool table. The old man bartender didn't help matters either
