A traditional old town centre two-roomed pub that has now been opened up to a modern contemporary style single-roomed pub. The real ale offering tends to switch between St Austell Tribute, Sharp's Doom Bar, and Hogs Back TEA, but occasionally others. The selection of draught lagers is also popular, as are various cocktails they offer.

This is a handy pub to pop into if you are out shopping in Camberley town centre, with reasonably-priced pub food available, including roasts on Sundays. A lively place in the evenings, too, with a wide range of ages enjoying quiz nights on Mondays, and live music playing on Fridays.

Information for this venue is provided by the Surrey/Hants Borders Branch of CAMRA
