I would say, this is a musician's and real person's pub, so I felt right at home and the customers are a very friendly and welcoming bunch, not a chav in sight, (heaven). Average age about 23, but they had no problem with an old git like me, very respectful, in a cheeky sort of way. The bar is a large(ish) L shape with a seated garden area ideal for smokers, (I packed up smokin' 12 weeks ago..Bugger!) but it's still a nice place to sit on a pleasent summer's evening. Plenty of live entertainment, I went on a tuesday which seems to be the accoustic night which they call Batteries not included. This is a sort of open mic night but the performers are all pre-booked. A decent standard of muso-ship with a good selection of styles, and it's free. They seem to have stuff on regularly throughout the week and I will be going back to take another look. They have a website and a myspace which I can't remember, but it's got Little Johnny Russell's in the title (I should never of had that last beer). If, like me, you prefer the informal atmosphere, then this little gem could be for you. It's good to see that this type of pub is still goin' strong, it took me back to me youff.

I haven't really been here to drink but been a few times to eat. Both times the food has been exceptionable and the staff are very attentive. My friend had the meal part of her hen night here and it was great. We were allowed down during the day to decorate and when we arrived it looked great. Lots of people dining but the food came out fast and hot. All three courses were nice and although we were supposed to book all our guest meals before, we phoned up the same day to say we were bringing extra people and they were great about it. While we were eating they had a live singer and a guy on the guitar. It really set the mood and was brilliant.

Monday-Saturday you can get the following for a fiver if you dine with another (two-fer-a-tenner deal). Outstanding gammon dinner with two eggs, chips and peas.

For the other half of the deal the wife likes the scampi or the chicken: and it's half a chicken, rotisserie style, juicy and gorgeous with no gastro-nonsense pretence. On a Sunday the roasts are outstanding: deliciously cooked meat on plentifully apportioned plates loaded with veg for under six quid (Dec 2010).
