History: originally the Conway, Hydes acquired this some years ago and converted it to a modern look. The success of that was limited; the pub was then building up trade again with a much pared-down offering. A large bar sat between a raised lounge to one side, and an entertainment (full programme throughout the week, ie. 50p off a pint of Hydes Cask Ale; Wii Sports and Guitar Hero; Tex-Mex Night; Curry and Quiz; Live Band; Live Band/DJ; Acoustic Musician) area to the other. There was an over-21 policy which was imposed with some discretion and flexibility. There were regular quizzes and the pub supported two football teams. Food was served 12-8 (5 Sun) Tues-Sun.
