Never been here before but a friend had said it was a proper old boozer so I thought I’d give it a shot. What a superb pub it is. You come in the front door into a long corridor that goes 30 or so metres into the pub straight to the rear and the toilets. Along the corridor are a number of doors to the public bar, the saloon and the another bar whose name I forget. It reminded me of the kind of pubs I used to frequent when I lived in York. In the Saloon bar where I sat there was bloke who’d turned up with his guitar and was playing Don McClain songs. He just sat there with a pint of Late Red and sang out his songs. Fantastic.

Town centre pub with mix of locals and tourists. Fairly busy Saturday lunchtime with a number of people eating.
