Update (Nov 2019). I visited twice in last two weeks: 1st time during a Saturday afternoon when only one real ale available. 10 days later on Tuesday afternoon there were No real ales, hence removing one star!
However, I have visited on numerous occasions over the years. A traditional pub with generally 3 real ales available on hand pump.

Not a place for young women, even in a group and watch out for each other. The older men here don't seem to have boundaries or respect for women. I doubt this pub even knows what and 'Angel Shot' is when ordered from the bar. Great staff,...
