The Ale's are not kept particularly well, and have a wide varying quality, normally averaging at the "not particularly drinkable" level. |

They have a standard Fullers Menu, which is prepared in a not particular great fashion. They claim that a new menu is arriving soon (200405) |
They have just introduced (week of 20021209) the standard Fuller's pub menu - Pies, fish and chips, ham and eggs, burgers etc. Prices from �5 to �8. The food may well be shipped semi-prepacked, but they seem to prepare and serve it well. Doesn't have the home made feel that it used to. |

The service has got poorer over time, and is now fairly dire, with unattentive bar staff talking to their mates. The pub has a locals feel although the inhabitants are fairly welcoming. However, the various changes that have happened have thinned the clientele out a lot. |
The service is generally quick and friendly, even when the pub gets busy. The atmosphere is generally friendly and its a great pub for watching sport - which they put on the big screen in the public bar. |

==== Randomness ==== Fuller's have had issues with this pub over the years, with a number of changes of management which have been met with varying degrees of success. At the moment (200405) it looks like they are about to start their next phase of rebuilding the clientele, with a new menu and maybe new management. I hope this goes better than the last few tries. |

The service is generally quick and friendly, even when the pub gets busy. The atmosphere is generally friendly and its a great pub for watching sport - which they put on the big screen in the public bar.
Layout
2 rooms:
- Small public bar (on the left of the pub), with short bar, TV projector and Dart board. Packed on football days, but excellent for watching the match in (great atmosphere, and setup so that everyone can see the game easily)
- Larger lounge bar (on the right of the pub), with booths down the right hand side and bar on the left. More seating in the conservatory at the back of the bar, and also some at the front near the front door and door to the public bar.
Beer garden with picnic style tables - quite big and great during summer. Also useable in winter if you wrap up.
Facilities
Ladies and Gents in the lounge bar.
