A versatile and deceptively large city centre sports pub on a busy shopping street. The main room consists of farmhouse-style low-seated cosiness, albeit with TV screens, while to the rear, complete with balcony, the emphasis is more on dining. A modern plastic-lawned yard exists if there's ever sunshine to be enjoyed.
