Late evening visit primarily to use the toilet after a long bus journey but they were still serving so I had a couple of pints and stayed until after midnight closing.

Absolutely heaving, probably about 100 people in here tonight, the only way that I could get to the toilets was to exit from the West side door, walk along the road and enter the pub from the East side. A good friendly atmosphere and a 1960s discotheque.

The busiest that I have seen this pub for a long time with three bar staff all fully occupied serving thirsty football supporters who were watching the television.

Wednesday evening, football on the television and pool being played. Some interest in a Enterprise flyer advertising Nick Hambleton's gluten free beers.

I came here to sit and enjoy a few pints and avoid the trick or treating muggers who plague anyone trying to have a peaceful night in, unfortunately I got it wrong and the pub became full of noisy children and their parents, I escaped on a bus to the town centre after one pint.
