A regular haunt for a cycling team based nearby. We've been going there at least once a week for the past few years, which has to be some kind of endorsement!
They have several tables, a sofa area, and a pool table. There are a few quotes from Shakespeare plays on the walls. Toilets are downstairs. There's also some outdoor seating: this is on the pavement next to the road rather than being a separate beer garden.
As of October 2012, they have a few real ales on tap, and 2 brands of cider (Aspall and West Country?). They cook a range of pizzas from scratch, including a few vegetarian options.
It can be busy at certain times, particularly when people in nearby offices finish work, but it's fairly quiet at weekends.
