Located in the old Barclays Bank, this quirky bar has a rustic potting shed theme - plenty of distressed wood, floral ironwork, caged lighting, various agricultural bric-a-brac etc. The interior has been cleverly seperated into discrete sections each with their own character, so there's a fairly cosy and intimate feel though beware that food takes prescedence over drinking at busy times. Keg beers include Siren Craft. Selection of bottled foeign beers available.
