Unfortunately this pub is now closed, being one of the more marginal outlets in Castle Rock's estate.

The pub is found in Basford, Nottinghamshire, NG6 0JW.

1960s built Shipstone's pub in Mill Road that retained its two bar layout. Ran for a while by Castle Rock with a good selection of their beers plus guests. Finally closed early in Spring 2012.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 3 different beers and tried them all.
