A friendly and welcoming small street-corner local with an impressive traditional green-tiled frontage. The smartly refurbished wooden interior is decorated with an eclectic range of prints and paintings. Four handpumps offer a range of changing beers, usually including one dark ale, one traditional bitter style and two pales. Local breweries are well represented. The keg fonts include a Belgian or German beer and a wheat beer. The pub hosts an array of live entertainment including sea shanty singing, jazz, folk and open mic nights. At other times, music is provided by a collection of vinyl records and a turntable. No food is served but customers may order food to bring in from the Japanese kitchen at the nearby Hillgrove.
