The pub is found in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 3FB.

Traditional, unspoilt pub In Mansfield Road which retains its two roomed layout. Re-opened after several years of closure in sprint 2023. It is one of the few remaining pubs to still operate a bell-push system for ordering drinks. The good news is that this service continues in the lounge, apart from during busy times.

We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 7 different beers and tried 4 of them.
