Traditional family owned pub, popular with students of the nearby university. Backing onto the railway line, and handy for trains and local buses. Several drinking areas of different character, including a vaulted cellar. The beer garden is very popular with the student population and locals alike, though access is via the upper floor. Classic pub meals at very reasonable prices, and well-kept ales of good quality. Opens early until late seven days a week, with food served at most times.
