Reopened in its present incarnation in 2014, Monty Python quotes and brewery logos decorate the walls, and old model aircraft are suspended from the ceiling. The regular Brains Reverend James and four changing cask ales are complemented by a wide range of keg, bottled and canned craft beers. There is a thriving live music scene and a quiz night. The large outdoor courtyard is popular in the summer.
