Nestled among residential streets, this is a proper old-fashioned corner pub, complete with patterned carpet, sports memorabilia (boxing and rugby in this case), a display of ceramic plates, and decorative mirrors advertising items such as Colman's mustard, Adnams ales, and Dewar's scotch whisky <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/28881619824/ photo]</small>. It's quite small, with the main room seating no more than 24 or so, and an even smaller and cosier space around the curve of the bar. Seating is a varied combination of banquettes, sofas, low stools, and normal chairs and tables, but all looks congruent with its surroundings rather than assembled purposefully with quirkiness in mind. There's a beer garden out the back and a couple of picnic tables out the front. [[Kake]] visited on a Thursday afternoon in September 2016. Arriving just after their opening time of 4pm, I was the first customer of the day, but another two had turned up by the time I left half an hour later. Service was friendly and helpful. Country music was playing, not too loud. Two of the three handpumps were on, offering Otter Bitter and Tring Ridgeway. A pint of lime and sparkling water was £1.70 (I deviated from my normal order of lime and soda because they didn't have a soft drinks gun and the staff member on duty warned me that the soda bottles weren't cold). |

[[Kake]]'s verdict: I liked it here, and I'd come back if I was in the area. |

Accessibility: Two steps to get in. No steps to the gents' toilets once you're in (ladies' not checked, because they don't have a sign on the outside of the door of the gents' to warn you that it's the gents').
