The turn-around of this pub has been nothing short of remarkable - from a basic, rough sports bar into what it is now a well-run, gastro pub offering good beer and award-winning food. The pub has been split into two areas: a front bar, which has a strange mix of furniture and bric-a-brac including animal heads, and the restaurant area, which is screened off from the bar. Daily food specials are displayed on the blackboards, and the walls are also covered in modern art. The back garden is enclosed, and there is outdoor seating to the front and side too.
