History: a Smith & Jones Pub Co house which opened in the early 2000s. It was a large, open-plan, Wetherspoons-lite beer hall. Lots of sports screens and loud music. It was not the place you would expect to sell cask ale yet to their credit the management appeared to be doing well experimenting with cask via three well-placed handpumps.
