Description
A market town alehouse from the 00s new wave of micropubs. Stylish green sign with retro stylings matched by recovered signage inside connected with the local train service. Fairy lights and antique furniture in a small room with raised area at the bar. There are no pumps at the bar area itself, while pouring goes on in the backroom, with drinks brought to your table. Board games, community events and general hubbub of friendly activity round off what is rightly a very popular, highly-rated venue.
