The pub is found in Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN16 8JH.
Old one room pub in Newland Street with an island bar. Full of nooks and crannies and always seems a friendly place. The bar counter runs down the room, creating a narrow area with limited seating for drinking. more seating is towards the rear.
We have visited this pub 8 times, seen 10 different beers and tried 9 of them.
