    Too many new landlords over the last few years, not to a very successful end, but they tried. Nice BIG pub & tidy.

    It was great to go to before the cricket, and was always full, there was a very strong smell of the funny stuff.

    I went to the Bears v Essex T20 quarter final and went for a drink prior with friends and enjoyed the atmosphere there, watching some of the Test match that was ongoing, England v Australia. Its always lively on a match day...

    A proper pub. Loud, chatty, lots of interaction with both the locals and those who had travelled for the Commonwealth Games. Easy atmosphere and very clean, tables constantly being checked. Enjoy (beer very good lol).
