History: From opening in 2004 it had been keg-only, that was until they joined the LWC Cask Club around Christmas 2012; it had two changing cask beers for a time until early 2017 when it reverted to keg beer again. As it was a bar with an adjoining Indian restaurant, you could then have a curry together with a pint of beer.
