Comments on wine list/beer: Constant change of real ales and ciders

Review:
This is not a pub to take your first date. It is a real ale paradise. The landlord and his assaociates behind the bar know their stuff. There is a constant change of guest ales – I have had milds from Swansea there. The walls and ceilings are covered in beer mats and the furniture should have been part of a giant bonfire 10 years ago. They don’t serve meals – crisps and peanuts are available.
