Went in late on Tuesday night. Not busy. Just a good pub for a drink as everywhere else was closed. Barman served us right away. Prices very good. Barman was clearing up and offered us the chance of another drink as it was closing in 15 min. Took up the offer. Nice sports memorabilia on walls. Just a pub with no gimmicks.the way a pub should be
