Fairly busy for this hidden away edge of town back street gem. Once again no music just the aura of soft conversations with no loud shouty folk made for a pleasant and relaxed stay. Recently refurbished but cosy and in keeping with this type of pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Triple Choc (was Triple Chocoholic) | 4.80 | | Utter perfection for this silky smooth creamy chocolate, fudge and toffee treat. |
| Black Country - BFG | 4.20 | | A straw coloured quaffing beer, with an impressive bold citrus hop aroma, fruity balanced sweetness and a lingering refreshing after-taste. |
